1. Till Gwilliam’s edition of the Gospels appears, which has been promised since 1891, the best edition will be the Editio Princeps of Widmanstadt, 1555; then that of Leusden and Schaaf, _Novum Domini nostri Jesu Christi Testamentum Syriacum cum versione latina cura et studio J. Leusden et C. Schaaf editum. Ad omnes editiones diligenter recensitum et variis lectionibus magno labore collectis adornatum._ Lugd. Bat., 1709, 4to. _Acc. Schaaf, Lexicon Syriacum concordantiale._ The text reprinted by Jones at Oxford, 1805; the editions of the London Bible Society, 1816 and 1826, and better still, the Syriac and New-Syriac editions of the American Mission in Urmia, 1846, and of the American Bible Society of New York, 1868, 1874, and frequently (with the Nestorian vocalisation). An edition is promised from the Jesuit Press at Beyruth, _Nouveau Testament Syriaque en petits caractères, d’après plusieurs manuscrits anciens, éd. par le P. L. Cheikho_. The New Testament part of the Peshitto has been very much neglected in the present century. On the O.T., investigations, chiefly in the form of dissertations on most of the books, have been published, establishing the relation of the Syriac to the Massoretic text, the Septuagint, and the Targum. But almost nothing of this sort has been done for the N.T., at least in Germany, since the time of Michaelis and Löhlein. The question has never once been taken up how many translators’ hands can be distinguished in the N.T. J. D. Michaelis, _Curae in Versionem Syriacam Act. Apost. cum consectariis criticis de indole, cognationibus et usu versionis Syriacae tabularum Novi Foederis_. Göttingen, 1755. C. L. E. Löhlein, _Syrus Epistolae ad Ephesios interpres in causa critica denuo examinatus_, Erlangen, 1835. 2. Cureton’s _Remains_ (1858) is now out of print. Till Burkitt’s new edition appears its place will be taken by Baethgen’s Retranslation into Greek (_Evangelienfragmente. Der griechische Text des Curetonschen Syrers wiederhergestellt_, Leipzig, 1885); and more especially by Albert Bonus’s _Collatio codicis Lewisiani rescripti evangeliorum Syriacorum cum codice Curetoniano_, Oxford, 1896; and by Carl Holzhey’s _Der neuentdeckte Codex Sinaiticus untersucht. Mit einem vollständigen Verzeichnis der Varianten des Codex Sinaiticus und Codex Curetonianus_, Munich, 1896. See A. Bonus, _The Sinaitic Palimpsest and the Curetonian Syriac_, in the _Expository Times_, May 1895, p. 380 ff. The publications of T. R. Crowfoot, _Fragmenta Evangelica, Pars I., II._, 1870, 1872, and _Observations on the Collations in Greek of Cureton’s Syriac Fragments_, 1872, contain useful material, but there are a good many mistakes.
