FOOTNOTES

1 See Studia Biblica et Ecclesiastica, ii. “Evidence of Early Versions
and Patristic Quotations, &c.,” by the Rev. Ll. J. M. Bebb, M.A., p.
211. In this chapter, which from press reasons has been curtailed, I
am glad to refer to Mr. Bebb’s careful and thoughtful essay.

2 I cannot help expressing my strong opinion that there were a great
many distinct Latin versions, and that they had a great many sources
of origin:—briefly speaking,

(_a_) Because of the testimony of Augustine and Jerome;

(_b_) Because Latin translations from the first _must_ have been
wanted everywhere, and must have been constantly supplied. On the
one hand the bilingualism prevalent in the Roman Empire would ensure
a large number of translators: and on the other the want of accurate
Greek scholarship would account for the numerous errors found in and
propagated by the old Latin manuscripts. Copies of one translation
could not in those days have been supplied in every place adequately
to the want;

(_c_) Because of the multitude of synonyms to be found in Old Latin
MSS.;

(_d_) Because on almost all disputed passages Old Latin evidence can
be quoted on both sides;

(_e_) Because the various MSS. differ so thoroughly that each MS. is
quoted as resting upon its own authority, and no one standard has
been reached or is in view, the utmost that has been done in this
respect being to group them.

But see next chapter: this is an undecided question.—ED.

3 Duval, Grammaire Syriaque, p. xi.

4 Dr. Neubauer in Studia Biblica, vol. i. (Clarendon Press), “The
Dialects of Palestine in the time of Christ,” distinguishes between
(1) Babylonian Aramaic, (2) Galilaean Aramaic, (3) the purer Aramaic
spoken at Jerusalem, and (4) modernized Hebrew also used at
Jerusalem.

5 I cannot agree with Dr. Field (Origenis Hexaplorum quae supersunt,
Proleg. lxxvii, 1874) that the Peshitto is not the Syriac version
here quoted by Melito; but, while he admits a frequent resemblance
between it and the renderings imputed to “the Syrian,” he certainly
produces not a few instances of diversity between the two. Besides
Theodoret, who often opposes ὁ Σύρος to ὁ Εβραῖος (Thren. 1. 15 and
passim), Field notes the following writers as citing the
former,—Didymus, Diodorus, Eusebius of Emesa, Polychronius,
Apollinarius, Chrysostom, Procopius (ibid. p. lxvii).

6 All modern accounts of the unorthodox sects of the East confirm
Walton’s gracious language two hundred years ago: “Etsi verò, olim
in haereses miserè prolapsi, se a reliquis Ecclesiae Catholicae
membris separarint, unde justo Dei judicio sub Infidelium jugo
oppressi serviunt, qui ipsis dominantur, ex continuis tamen
calamitatibus edocti et sapientiores redditi (est enim Schola Crucis
Schola Lucis) tandem eorum misertus Misericordiarum Pater eos ad
rectam sanamque mentem, rejectis antiquis erroribus, reduxit”
(Walton, Prolegomena, Wrangham, Tom. ii. p. 500).

7 Dean Payne Smith’s Catalogue, pp. 109-112. In the great Cambridge
manuscript (Oo. I. 1, 2) the Epistles of 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and
Jude follow 1 John, and are continued on the same quire, as Mr.
Bradshaw reports.

8 See an admirable paper by Dr. Gwynn in “Transactions of the Royal
Irish Academy,” xxvii. 8, “On a Syriac MS. belonging to Archbishop
Ussher.” This MS. was procured for Ussher in 1626 by T. Davies, lent
to De Dieu, who used it in 1631, and is now in Trinity College
Library, Dublin.

9 Yet, besides his error of judgement in bringing into the Peshitto
text such passages as we have just enumerated, Schaaf follows the
Paris and London Polyglotts when interpolating τῶν σωζομένων Apoc.
xxi. 24, although the words had been omitted by De Dieu (1627) and
Gutbier (1664).

10 Compare the Printed Editions of the Syriac New Testament, _Church
Quarterly Review_, vol. xxvi, no. lii, 1888, and a Bibliographical
Appendix by Prof. Isaac H. Hall to Dr. Murdock’s Translation of the
Peshitto.

11 Tregelles in “Smith’s Dictionary of the Bible” thinks that the term
was originally applied to the Syriac version of the Hebrew Old
Testament, in order to discriminate between it and the Greek
Hexapla, or the Syro-hexaplar translation derived from it, with
their apparatus of obeli and asterisks. To this view Dr. Field adds
his weighty authority (Origenis Hexapla, Proleg. p. ix, note 1),
adding that for this reason the pure Septuagint version also is
called ἁπλοῦν (1 Kings vii. 13; xii. 22), to distinguish its
rendering from what is given ἐν τῷ ἑξαπλῷ. The epithet which was
proper to the Old Testament in course of time attached itself to the
New.

12 ܦܫܝܬܬܐ or ܐܬܬܝܫܦ, versio vulgata, popularis, Thes. Syr. 3319.

13 A full list of editions of all the Syriac versions is given in the
Syriac Grammar of Nestle (tr. Kennedy), Litteratura, pp. 17-30.

14 “Remains of a very ancient recension of the four Gospels in Syriac,
hitherto unknown in Europe, discovered, edited, and translated by
William Cureton, D.D. ... Canon of Westminster,” 4to, London, 1858.
_See_ also Wright’s description of the MSS. in Catalogue of Syriac
MSS. in the British Museum, vol. i. pp. 73-5.

15 Less able writers than Dr. Cureton have made out a strong, though
not a convincing case, for the Hebrew origin of St. Matthew’s
Gospel, and thus far his argument is plausible enough. To
demonstrate that the version he has discovered is based upon that
Hebrew original, at least so far as to be a modification of it and
not a translation from the Greek, he has but a single plea that will
bear examination, viz. that out of the many readings of the Hebrew
or Nazarene Gospel with which we are acquainted, his manuscript
agrees with it in the one particular of inserting the _three kings_,
ch. i. 8, though even here the number of _fourteen_ generations
retained in ver. 17 shows them to be an interpolation. Such cases as
_Juda_, ch. ii. 1; _Ramtha_, ver. 18; ܕ for ὅτι or the relative, ch.
xiii. 16, can prove nothing, as they are common to the Curetonian
with the Peshitto, from which version they may very well have been
derived.

16 The title to St. Matthew is remarkable; for while (in the
subscription) we read, “Gospel of Markos,” and “Gospel of Juchanan”
occurs, as in other Syriac MSS., to St. Matthew is prefixed the
title “Evangeliom dampharsa Mattai.” The meaning of the second word
is doubtful in this application. The root means _divide_,
_distinguish_, _separate_—cf. Daniel v. 28. Cureton (Pref. vi) says
(1) that the great authority Bernstein suggested “Evangelium per
anni circulum dispositum.” This is inapplicable, because the copy is
not set out in Church Lessons, although some are noted by a much
later hand in the margins. (2) Cureton himself, noticing a defect in
the vellum before ܡܬܝ (or ܝܬܡ), would read ܕܡܬܝ (or ܝܬܡܕ), and
render “The distinct Gospel of Matthew.” This he understood to
indicate that the translation of Matthew had a different origin from
the other books, and was “built upon the original Aramaic text,
which was the work of the Apostle himself.” But there is nothing to
justify the insertion of a ܕ, which is required to connect the title
with the following name. The title belongs to the whole work,
“Evangeliom dampharsa—Mattai” [Catalogue Brit. Mus. _l. c._]; the
other names being preceded by “Evangeliom” only. (3) “Dampharsa” has
been rendered “explained” [see the review in “Journal of Sacred
Literature,” 1858], viz. from the text of the Peshitto; and this, as
we shall see presently, agrees with the character of the Curetonian,
for it abounds in deliberate alterations. But (4) from the
quotations and references in the “Thesaurus Syriacus” (R. Payne
Smith), col. 3304, it seems almost certain that the epithet means
“separated,” as opposed to “united in a Harmony.” Such, of course,
the Codex Curetonianus is, but further evidence is required to
justify the inference that the Curetonian was the offspring of
Tatian’s Harmony, and became the parent of the Peshitto, an opinion
in large measure contradicted by the character of the translation.

17 “Si nous devons en croire Scrivener, la version syriaque dite
_Peshitto_ s’accorde bien plus avec lui [Cod. A] qu’avec (B).” (Les
Livres Saints, &c., Pau et Vevey, 1872, Préface, p. iii.) The fact
is notoriously true, and of course rests not on Scrivener’s
evidence, but on universal consent.

26 In the following paragraphs we quote from a MS. exhibiting the
results of investigations made by the Rev. Dr. Waller, Principal of
St. John’s Hall, Highbury, who has most generously permitted us to
make use of his labours.

27 For other like cases see Mat. iv. 11, 21; v. 12, 47, in the
Curetonian.

28 The forms in which O. T. quotations appear in the Curetonian demand
attention, as they seem to suggest similar inferences.

29 E.g. in the transposition of the Beatitudes in St. Matt. v. 4, 5.

30 Since the discovery of the Curetonian version in Syriac by
Archdeacon Tattam in 1842 and Canon Cureton, some Textualists have
maintained that it was older than the Peshitto on these main
grounds:—

1. Internal evidence proves that the Peshitto cannot have been the
original text.

2. The Curetonian is just such a text as may have been so, and would
have demanded revision.

3. The parallels of the Latin texts which were revised in the
Vulgate suggests an authoritative revision between A.D. 250 and 350.

These arguments depend upon a supposed historical parallel, and
internal evidence.

The parallel upon examination turns out to be illusory:—

1. There was a definite recorded revision of the Latin Texts, but
none of the Syrian. If there had been, it must have left a trace in
history.

2. There was an “infinita varietas” (August. De Doctr. Christ., ii.
11) of discordant Latin texts, but only one Syriac, so far as is
known.

3. Badness in Latin texts is just what we should expect amongst
people who were poor Greek scholars, and lived at a distance. The
Syrians on the contrary were close to Judea, and Greek had been
known among them for centuries. It was not likely that within reach
of the Apostles and almost within their lifetime a version should be
made so bad as to require to be thrown off afterwards.

As to internal evidence, the opinion of some experts is balanced by
the opinion of other experts (see Abbé Martin, Des Versions
Syriennes, Fasc. 4). The position of the Peshitto as universally
received by Syrian Christians, and believed to date back to the
earliest times, is not to be moved by mere conjecture, and a single
copy of another version [or indeed by two copies]. Textual Guide,
Miller, 1885, p. 74, note 1.

Bingham’s “Antiquities,” book ii, chap. xiv.

32 Davidson, Bibl. Crit., vol. ii. p. 186, first edition. The Abbé
Martin (_see_ p. 323 note), after stating that this version was
never used by any Syrian sect save the Monophysites or Jacobites,
goes on to ask “Est-ce à dire que cette version soit entachée de
monophysisme? Nous ne le pensons pas; pour l’affirmer, il faudra
l’examiner très minutieusement; car l’hérésie monophysite est, à
quelques points de vue, une des plus subtiles qui aient jamais paru”
(Des Versions Syriennes, p. 162).

33 The asterisks ([symbol] [symbol]) and obeli ([symbol] [symbol]) of
this version will be observed in our specimens given below. Like the
similar marks in Origen’s Hexapla (from which they were doubtless
borrowed), they have been miserably displaced by copyists; so that
their real purpose is a little uncertain. Wetstein, and after him
even Storr and Adler, refer them to changes made in the Harkleian
from the Peshitto: White more plausibly considers the asterisk to
intimate an addition to the text, the obelus to recommend a removal
from it.
