"Ancient" Syriac bible found in Cyprus

An undated handout photo released to Reuters February 6, 2009 shows an ancient manuscript which authorities in northern Cyprus believe is an ancient version of the Bible written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.
The manuscript was found in a police raid on suspected antiquity smugglers. Turkish Cypriot police testified in a court hearing they believe the manuscript could be about 2,000 years old.
Experts were however divided over the provenance of the manuscript, and whether it was an original, which would render it priceless, or a fake.

- Authorities in northern Cyprus believe they have found an ancient version of the Bible written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.
The manuscript was found in a police raid on suspected antiquity smugglers. Turkish Cypriot police testified in a court hearing they believe the manuscript could be about 2,000 years old.
The manuscript carries excerpts of the Bible written in gold lettering on vellum and loosely strung together, photos provided to Reuters showed. One page carries a drawing of a tree, and another eight lines of Syriac script.
Experts were however divided over the provenance of the manuscript, and whether it was an original, which would render it priceless, or a fake.
Experts said the use of gold lettering on the manuscript was likely to date it later than 2,000 years.
"I'd suspect that it is most likely to be less than 1,000 years old," leading expert Peter Williams, Warden of Tyndale House, University of Cambridge told Reuters.
Turkish Cypriot authorities seized the relic last week and nine individuals are in custody pending further investigations. More individuals are being sought in connection with the find, they said.
Further investigations turned up a prayer statue and a stone carving of Jesus believed to be from a church in the Turkish held north, as well as dynamite.
The police have charged the detainees with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations and the possession of explosives.
Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic - the native language of Jesus - once spoken across much of the Middle East and Central Asia. It is used wherever there are Syrian Christians and still survives in the Syrian Orthodox Church in India.
Aramaic is still used in religious rituals of Maronite Christians in Cyprus.
"One very likely source (of the manuscript) could be the Tur-Abdin area of Turkey, where there is still a Syriac speaking community," Charlotte Roueche, Professor of Late Antique and Byzantine Studies at King's College London told Reuters.
Stories regarding the antiquity of manuscripts is commonplace. One case would be the Yonan Codex, carbon dated to the 12th century which people tried to pass off as earlier.
After further scrutiny of photographs of the book, manuscripts specialist at the University of Cambridge library and Fellow of Wolfson College JF Coakley suggested that the book could have been written a good deal later.
"The Syriac writing seems to be in the East Syriac script with vowel points, and you do not find such manuscripts before about the 15th century.

An earlier -shortened Bible- was also written in the(West-)Syriac Dialect in" Estrangely" lettering by Bishop Ephraim Syriacus from NISIBIS
in 371 ad .
it did not contain the Creed of the TRINITY, because thatdissident Sects compromise was invented in 379 by another Bishop:
BASILIUS the Great from Caesarea in Cappadocia to reconsile the North- African Donatists (who believed in ONE God-person)
and the ARRIAN, or NESTORIANS from the East roman Empire ( who believed in TWO God Persons .)
The Bishop from NISSIBIS was a bussinessman who sold books and inbetween 371-630 ad this Bible-version was the most copied in the Near-East.
When Emperor HERAKLIOS wanted ONE bible-version in Greek Koine for the JOINT Roman-Persian-Bysantine EMPIRE
He chose this pre TRINITY- bible version to be translated from the SYRIAC into the KOINE Greek.
When the Followers of MOHAMMAD entered Constantinopolis about 641 ad they found THIS" Syriac" Bible-version everywhere
and re- Translated it into KUFIC" Modern" Arabic at a " publishing-Hous" in MECCA and re-named it as the " KORAN".
In the frontispice the Translator AL- TABARI ( Circa: 930-960 ad )Tell a' white Lie' that 'Mohammad' had ordered it to be written in Arabic only.
GOLD- Lettering could be done on Vellum, but this was only started by a Pope around 1000 ad, who used violet-colored sheets
