What it is
The standard Syriac Bible, its Old Testament translated directly from Hebrew and its New Testament settled in the fifth century, replacing the Diatessaron.
Why it lasted
The Bible of every Syriac church to this day, and an important independent witness to the Hebrew and Greek texts.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
