Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Syriac Forms of New Testament Proper Names
The agreement between S, C, and P in the Gospels is the justifi cation for using P in the rest of the New Testament, where S and C fail us. It should, of course, be remarked that the definite agree ment of P with S C is naturally confined to those Proper Names which are transmitted without variant in the Greek. Naturally it may happen that there is a variant in a name, and in such cases P and S C are sometimes found on opposite sides, e. G. In Joh i 28 S C support 'bethabara', while P supports Bethany'. But such cases are comparatively rare, and do not seriously call in question the general faithfulness of P to the nomenclature of the Old Syriac Version.

Excerpt from The Syriac Forms of New Testament Proper Names
The translator from Greek into Syriac is in a very different case. Syriac, the former common speech of the Euphrates Valley, is a Semitic language, the first cousin of Hebrew. Like Hebrew, many of the vowels do not appear in writing, and those that are written are given in a notation that, according to our ideas, is singularly imperfect. On the other hand, many distinctions are made, especially in the sibilants, which disappear in the Greek, and (as in Hebrew) there are four true guttural sounds which are not represented in Greek at all.
It is easy enough to transliterate true Greek Proper Names into Syriac. They look indeed rather clumsy, and without the insertion of vowel signs the transliterations are often ambiguous. The real difficulty and the real interest arises when, as so often in the New Testament, the Proper Name in the Greek is itself a transliteration or adaption of a Semitic word. Greek is a poor language for such a purpose, and the Semitic words lose in transliteration many of their most striking characteristics.
These difficulties lie in the nature of the languages and confront a translator as soon as he sets about his task. When therefore we find that the older Syriac Versions, speaking generally, do not simply transliterate the New Testament Proper Names, but give the proper Semitic equivalent, we are obviously in the presence of a learned achievement, of a work of Biblical learning which demands elucidation and explanation. How did the Syriac translator come by his information?
A few words may here be said on the Syriac Versions of which account will be taken here.

It examines the methods and influences behind these translations, comparing them to the original Greek and Hebrew texts. The author meticulously analyzes the various spellings and identifies the origins of the Syriac forms, revealing intriguing insights into the linguistic and geographical knowledge of the Syriac translators. The book places these Syriac translations within their broader historical context, showcasing the interplay between ancient Jewish tradition, early Christian scholarship, and the development of pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

The book investigates the nature of Syriac translations, examining the extent to which they reflect a genuine understanding of Aramaic language and culture.
