Saint Ephraim's Quotations From The Gospel

This book attempts to determine the Gospel text used by Ephraim, and the bearing his quotations have upon the date of the Peshitta. Ephraim is one of the figures from the Syriac-speaking Church whose name is well known in both East and West. His surviving works are by themselves as voluminous as all other remains of Syriac literature earlier than 400 AD. Ephraim's death in roughly 373 AD means that his Gospel text predates the 5th century and attests a text older than many of the extant manuscripts.
