Peruse Apparatus Criticus To Chronicles In The Peshitta Version: With A Discussion Of The Value Of The Codex Ambrosianus (Classic Reprint) Expressed By William Emery Barnes Provided As PDF

from Apparatus Criticus to Chronicles in the Peshitta Version: With a Discussion of the Value of the Codex Ambrosianus
AT the present time the only existing Apparatus Criticus to the Peshitta is the work of Herbert Thorndike in Volume VI.
Of the London Polyglot of, For Chronicles Thorndike cites two mss, Only, viz. , Poc.and Bodl.both of the Seventeenth Century and of the same type of text,
Yet since the printed text is derived from a ms, Equally late in date and poorer in text, even such an Apparatus is useful, I gratefully acknowledge the help which it has given in the compilation of the present work,
Butyears have passed since Thorndike published his collations, and time has brought to light mss, Of the Peshitta far older than his, For the present Apparatus two mss, Of the Sixth Century, one of the Ninth, and one of the Twelfth have been used, Moreover for the first time for the book of Chronicles a Nestorian or East Syrian ms, Has been within reach.
