Abstract
The Four Gospels (Harqlean version)
are a translation of
The Four Gospels (literary tradition)
made by Thomas of
Harqel in 615 or 616, perhaps as a revision of the New
Testament (Philoxenian version)
. They imitate the Greek text closely and provide variant readings
using symbols and marginal notes modeled after Origen's Hexaplaric
Septuagint. Multiple revisions included efforts to bring them into alignment with
the Byzantine text and a 12th-century revision by Dionysios bar Salibi.
The Four Gospels (Harqlean version)
are extant in abundant manuscript witnesses, beginning in the 8th
century.15
