| | Syriac Versions of the Bible, by Thomas Nicol |
| | There are still scholars, foremost of whom is G. Gwilliam, the learned editor of the Oxford Peshito (Tetraevangelium sanctum, Clarendon Press, 1901), who maintain the priority of the Peshitta and insist upon its claim to be the earliest monument of Syrian Christianity. | | | This, indeed, has been strenuously denied, but since Dr. Hort in his Introduction to Westcott and Hort's New Testament in the Original Greek, following Griesbach and Hug at the beginning of the last century, maintained this view, it has gained many adherents. | | | Most of the apocryphal books of the Old Testament are found in the Syriac, and the Book of Sirach is held to have been translated from the Hebrew and not from the Septuagint. |

| | Syriac is a form of Aramaic, a language whose many dialects have been in continuous use since the 11th century BC. | | | The Syriac writing system lent its vocalization system to Hebrew and Arabic in the 7th century, before which Semitic languages were written using consonants only. | | | Originally the language of the Aramean people, Aramaic became the lingua franca of the Near East by the 6th century BC. |

| | It was used to write Syriac, a dialect of the Aramaic language spoken by Assyrians, in northern Mesopotamia (the area near where the modern nations of Syria, Turkey and Iraq intersect) and particularly focused around the city of Edessa. | | | As Syriac Aramaic has changed little in the last two thousand years, Assyrians are proud that they speak a language with a direct link to the ancient world and to Jesus Christ. | | | Miraculously, even through countless invasions, political turmoil, and religious persecution, the Syriac-speaking people endured. |
