The Leiden Peshitta
Edición digital Logos
Overview
The Syriac Peshitta of the Old and New Testament originated during the first centuries of the Christian era, and has been used ever since in the non-western churches of Syrian signature. Much like the Greek translations of the Old Testament, this ancient version is an important source for our knowledge of the textual traditions behind the biblical text. In contrast to the manuscripts of most Hebrew traditions, which date from the beginning of the Middle Ages, the extant Syriac manuscripts date from the fifth century. Some New Testament scholars argue for Aramaic as the original language of portions of the New Testament, and similarities between Aramaic and the Syriac of the Peshitta lead these scholars to encourage the study of the Peshitta.
This edition of the Old and New Testament was prepared at the Peshitta Institute in Leiden, and has become the standard Syriac edition. A. Ceriani’s photolithographic edition of 1876 serves as the basis for the Leiden Peshitta.
The Logos edition of the Leiden Peshitta features the entire running text of the Syriac translations of the Old and New Testament, plus the deutero-canonical works. The entire Peshitta contains a limited critical apparatus. This edition also contains two manuscript versions of Tobit, Epistle of Baruch, 1 Maccabees, Prayer of Manasseh, and Psalms, and is available in two Syriac scripts: Serto and Estangela.
This edition of the Leiden Peshitta will benefit students of the history of the Bible text, Syriac language and literature and Syriac Christianity.

I am surprised and annoyed about the errors & omissions in the Logos version of the Leiden Peshitta. I expect better from Faithlife. I hope the text is corrected so that it more accurately reflects the highly respected print edition it is based on.

There's no explanation whatsoever about the new testament. Nothing about the date of the manuscripts. All the title of the books are in English. The critical apparatus has no explanation of the letters nor numbers stands for. Unless one has studied the peshitta in a special class, the ordinary old testament student may not gain much.levrel michel

The New Testament is vocalized, the Old Testament isn't. .The text isn't morphologically tagged, but if you get additionally the Analytical Lexicon of the Syriac New Testament SEDRA3LEX you may click on one word an the root, meaning and all inflected words of the lemma are shown . Logos includes whole set of beautiful fonts (serto, estrangelo in different types in windows and Android. I love it.Naif Yaşar

Is the whole text vocalized. the example given Isaiah seems to be not vocalized. And is the text searchable, when I want to search for a root can I find all its example immediately. For example when I search for the root ܥܒܰܕ can I find ܥܰܒܰܕ ܂ ܐܰܥܒܶܕ ܂ܡܰܥܒܶܕ ܂ ܡܥܰܒܶܕ and all the other forms of this root

Very nice. Now, please, tag and hyperlink each word, or even better, provide a reverse interlinear.
