Saint Ephrem: an exposition of the Gospel : an exposition of the Gospel or Targmanoutium Avetarani from the Armenian version of the works of Ephrem Syrus, in the San Lazzaro codices #452 and #312. A critical edition, with special reference to the form of New Testament text cited by the author and the question ofauthenticity

Abstract

In the following study it is honed to present an important tool for the textual criticism of the New Testament. Since it was first noticed by F. C. Burkitt, "An Exposition of the Gospel." has been essentially put aside by textual critics. This situation is probably due to the wrong impression that the treatise is "pseudo-Ephrem," or possibly because it is extant only in classical Armenian and no critical edition of the text has been aailable. The Biblical quotations are full of distinctive early readings. The treatise itself will give fresh material for students of early Christian thought.
