Abstract

Matthew (literary tradition) [http://syriaca.org/work/9646] was rendered into Syriac a number of times, first as part of the Gospel harmony known as the Diatessaron [http://syriaca.org/work/10537] (probably in the 2nd century). Translations in the following centuries included Matthew (Old Syriac version) [http://syriaca.org/work/9513] (4th/5th century), Matthew (Peshitta version) [http://syriaca.org/work/72] (5th century), and Matthew (Harqlean version) [http://syriaca.org/work/162] (7th century). The Syriac versions also served as a basis for translations into other languages, including Matthew, Arabic (literary tradition) [http://syriaca.org/work/204] . Matthew is consistently placed first in Syriac Gospel manuscripts.
