About the book

This is an enhanced facsimile edition of the Khabouris Codex, a 11th-century manuscript of the Assyrian Aramaic New Testament (Peshitta). This facsimile edition presents the Khabouris Manuscript, one of the oldest surviving copies of the Eastern Peshitta Gospels, faithfully reproduced in high-resolution Syriac script from the original codex. The content is preserved in its original Aramaic language and script, while English is used for the title, introduction, and accompanying metadata to support accessibility for researchers and cataloging systems. The original manuscript is preserved in the public domain. This edition, created by Ramsin Ishaq in 2025, features digitally cleaned, sharpened, and re-ordered high-resolution page scans sourced from the 2025 Archive.org release. It preserves the structure and sequence of the codex exactly while improving readability and accessibility for researchers, students, and preservationists. This is not a modern translation; it is a visual restoration of a historic text, created for liturgical, academic, and archival purposes. A Companion Volume is available separately, featuring James Murdock’s 1851 English translation of the Peshitta, complete with his original footnotes and verse references. Each page of the separately sold companion edition also includes miniature manuscript images and commentary highlighting Syriac terms of interest, designed to support both study and appreciation of the original text. All 22 books from that Companion edition are available as read along videos for free here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPiVTS83KIFAPJbP80KcOMBuDaCdWK6UM&si=kTbN87gpI0VBtNfF Table of Contents: Rights and Attribution iii Image Source Statement iv Disclaimer v A Short History of the Khabouris vii Timeline of the Syriac New Testament ix Supplemental Guide x The Khabouris Companion xiii Khabouris Table of Contents xv Khabouris Table of Contents FRONT COLOPHON 1 MATTHEW 2 MARK 74 LUKE 117 JOHN 197 ACTS 256 JAMES (YAQUB) 337 I PETER (KAPA) 344 I JOHN 352 ROMANS 359 I CORINTHIANS 386 II CORINTHIANS 415 GALATIANS 432 EPHESIANS 441 PHILIPPIANS 450 COLOSSIANS 456 I THESSALONIANS 462 II THESSALONIANS 468 I TIMOTHY 471 II TIMOTHY 478 TITUS 483 PHILEMON 486 HEBREWS 487 BACK COLOPHON 509
