Böcker av F. Crawford Burkitt

This book attempts to determine the Gospel text used by Ephraim, and the bearing his quotations have upon the date of the Peshitta. Ephraim's death in roughly 373 AD means that his Gospel text predates the 5th century and attests a text older than many of the extant manuscripts.

This book consists of two lectures delivered by the author at Trinity College, Dublin: the first deals with Aprahat, the Persian sage, and the second with Bardaisan and the Acts of Judas Thomas.

Contains six lectures: early bishops of Edessa, Bible in Syriac, early Syriac theology, marriage and the sacraments, Bardaisan and his disciples, Acts of Judas Thomas, and Hymn of the Soul. They were delivered in 1904 by Burkitt, then lecturer in paleography, at the University of Cambridge.

This 1897 book contains an edition by F. Crawford Burkitt of parts of the text of Aquila's Greek version of the Old Testament discovered in leaves of a manuscript from the Cairo Geniza. It also contains a comparison of Aquila's translation to the Hebrew version and to the Septuagint.
