New page

The Syriac version is one of the earliest and the most important version of the New Testament. To the present day survived over 350 Syriac manuscripts of the New Testament. The majority of them represent [[Peshitta]] version. Only very few manuscripts represent Old-Syriac versions. Some manuscripts represent a mixed or eclectic text.
