Talk:Crawford Aramaic New Testament manuscript

Bauscher's Revelation edit

Question, why is David Bauscher's self-published amateur translation notable for comparison here? Gwynn's text is in the 1905 UBS Peshitta, but did he not already make copious English notes and partial translation in 1897. Any comparisons with Greek should be sourced from the 1905 UBS or Gwynn, and lexical arguments from recognised lexica. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:50, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I can't find any reference to these claims of Bauscher in Gwynn. Doesn't mean they aren't there, but they would need page numbers from Gwynn.

  • "The Revelation which came to John The Evangelist from God in Patmos the island to which he was exiled by Nero Caesar." ref name="Gwynn1897" Nero was also called Domitius Nero: Pliny the Elder referred to him as "Domitius Nero" in his first century encyclopedia. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0137:book=2:chapter=23 Pliny the Elder, The Natural History, BOOK II. AN ACCOUNT OF THE WORLD AND THE ELEMENTS., CHAP. 23.—THEIR NATURE, SITUATION, AND SPECIES
  • Like Codex Sinaiticus (Fourth century Greek manuscript), Aramaic Revelation in Crawford Codex doesn't have this verse in Revelation 20:5 name="Gwynn1897" - "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished."
  • Revelation 2:22 (King James Version) - "Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds."
Revelation 2:22 (Codex Sinaiticus, H.T Anderson Translation 1861) - "Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of her works."
Revelation 2:22 (Bauscher) - "Behold, I cast her into a coffin, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds."
According to Bauscher the Aramaic word "arso" can mean a bed or a rubbish heap or a coffin Book "The Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English", Page 363-392. Book "Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?", Page 88

Can you give us the page number with the note ?
