Abstract
The Four Gospels (literary tradition)
are extant in Syriac in
at least three different translations. The earliest surviving translation of the
separated Gospels (in contrast to the Diatessaron
, a Gospel-harmony) is
The Four Gospels (Old Syriac version)
, likely translated in the
mid-3rd century. This was followed by The Four Gospels (Peshitta
version)
(translated
early 5th century), and The Four Gospels (Harqlean version)
(early 7th century). The
latter was a revision of the Gospels from The New Testament (Philoxenian
version)
, which
survive only in quotations from Philoxenos of Mabbug.1
