Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1904, this book is the second of a two-volume edition of the Curetonian manuscript, comprising the four Gospels and the Sinaitic Palimpsest, all of which were written in Syriac. This second volume contains a detailed introduction to the manuscript and the text's relationship to later Syriac versions of the same texts. Burkitt also includes patristic commentary on the manuscript and the differences between it and the Diatessaron. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the transmission of the Christian Gospels or the history of the Syriac church.
