The vital role of the Syriac New Testament was explored in this essay by Gwilliam. Supplementing his previous work on this important material, this study examines the relationship between the Peshitto and various codices of the Greek New Testament. Gwilliam also explores disagreements between the Syriac and the traditional text. An apology for the Peshitto and problems associated with it are incorporated in the wider discussion of how the Syriac text relates to the Greek New Testament. Some conjectures considering the history of the Syriac New Testament are clarified in the hope that the actual importance of this document will not be overshadowed by speculations on its origins.

George Henry Gwilliam, Fellow of Hertford College and editor of the influential Oxford Peshito, was a noted champion of the importance of Syriac for understanding the textual criticism of the New Testament. Along with P. E. Pusey, Gwilliam published a standard-setting critical edition of the Peshitta.

The Acts of Saint George and the Story of his Father

One of the most enduring of the saints, Saint George has seldom failed to capture the imagination of Christian readers, both ancient and modern. The Acts of Saint George, originally written in Greek, quickly spread to many linguistic traditions in the church of late antiquity. Presented here in vocalized Syriac and Arabic, the original text of the Acts is made easily accessible to readers of these languages. A detailed introduction in English summarizes the hagiography for those unacquainted with the Semitic languages. The account follows the hagiographic practice of describing the trials, steadfast faith, and martyrdom of the saint. Also included is the story of the father of Saint George, recorded in Syriac.
