Show ^ku, 16, Cromer Terrace, Leeds, 2. 9th Jan. , 1951 My clear Professor Atiya, I have just returned from Oxford where I spent some time with told me -bout your recent visit at Cnri-taw. s and your plans Kahle. He this'-country when you return. I hope you will both in America and in be able to come and see us in Leeds. If you return in the summer ana not during our term, we shall not be able to hear you lecture: but I should greatly welcome the opportunity of renewing our. acquaintance: shin and of getting to know your wife-you already know mine. I.have had the photographs of the Syriac palimpsest in my hands. They are all from a very old Peshitta text, I should say, from the bold, square Estrangela, probably the oldest extant Gospel maaus: criwip There is no question of there being an Old Syriac text among them, as Prof. Kahle"thought; the specimen which he identified as Mk 12 was in fact Mt 26 in the ordinary Peshitta version. I have been in correspondence with Prof. Bruce Ivietsger of Pronceton and mentioned in my last letter (of late November) that yon were on your way to vVashington. He may get in touch with you and you will probably meet him if your travels take you to Washinton. I hooe you will send me the rest of the photographs or the Syriac palimpsest of Arabieus ,?. .: I. hwve had arrangements made for obtaining them at cost price by the University (your last suggestion) for some time now. I din interested in the history of the Peshitta, and Godex Arabieus obviously is important, even though it does, not have a single material variant. It is almost certainly, on ualaeographical grounds alone, *h old as Add. 14512 in the B.M. a no ther pa1impseat bu (Revue Biblique, 1910). t dated to 460 A,D. by Eugene Tisserant My wife joins me in happy time in the States, and w, here in Leeds. dsmng yo look forwar both a very successful and to seeing you next sammer With kind regards, Yours sincerely, LuiU^yl&-^ |
