An edition of all Syrian translations of the New Testament, presented synoptically and chronologically. The translations are edited here for the first time. The citation material is assembled, reflecting lost translations (Vetus Syra, Philoxenia). In the introduction there are extensive discussions of all complexes of traditions. A reconstruction of the Greek 'Vorlage' of the Harclean version, with complete collations of the related Greek manuscripts, as well as numerous indices, also make the work available to the non-specialist.

Der Herausgeber ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter des Instituts für neutestamentliche Textforschung der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster/Westfalen, die Herausgeberin ist Direktorin des Instituts.
