Ancient Aramaic had no vowels, but it has vowels. I think it is of 17th or 18th century. <br />For more details, see: Assyrian News Agency Report<br />www.aina.org/news/2012022916569.htmsebsitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500894407690119139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-54374351282394750872012-02-24T06:52:48.544+00:002012-02-24T06:52:48.544+00:00Mike and Mack - totally agree.
That is not a paper...Mike and Mack - totally agree.<br />That is not a paper clip Mack but an early Christian symbol of togetherness. Surprised you didn't know that.

I delight in telling the gaspers that said suppressed book is available for free on the 'net.<br /><br />But I do have one question -- is the paper clip on the right of ancient Roman, Byzantine, or Turkish make?<br /><br />-- Mack in TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-10239375486614977952012-02-23T21:23:16.826+00:002012-02-23T21:23:16.826+00:00I trust not the turks, and the price is an appalli...I trust not the turks, and the price is an appalling incentive. Did not the moabite stone get smashed because fragments got paid for? Did not some of the -genuine- dead sea scrolls suffer the same fate?<br />Any ancient document-if not faked up -is of great interest.Simple variant readings and spellings, collation with other manuscript traditions- slow steady scholarly unhurried work, detailed , mindboggling. <br />The media are useless. I remember some decades ago stuff about the apocraphal and fscinating and reasonably well known about for a long time anyway "Gospel of Thomas": " new discovery rocks church" etc: basically:"(single) discovery proves evil catholics faked bible " and similar.<br />Sadly, much as Aramaic deserves preservation as living literature , the last I heard was that ALL aramaic biblical tradtions showed signs of having been translated from the greek.<br />There must have been at one time some aramaic documents written by early christians,(thank you, diocletian!) and is it not the tradition that Mathew was originally in aramaic? Even a stray hint of that in a single verse would be a find indeed. But how to know if, say, a particular early christian community had the opinion that Judas Iscariot was Peter's second cousin, that they were in fact right to so maintain?<br />If useless, it may come fast.Otherwise,the thing may take years .Mike Cliffsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405021835510775527noreply@blogger.com
