Kodeks Kaburis
Code page with text 1 Tm 3,16-4,14
Codex Khabis (Codex Khabouris) - a late Syrian manuscript of the New Testament. Contains the complete text of the New Testament in the translation of Peshitta and represents the so-called. Syrian canon (22 books). The missing books are: 2. Peter's Letter, 2. John's Letter, 3. John's Letter, Judas's Letter and Apocalypse. John. These books in the eastern (Greek) and western churches entered the canon even at the age of four. The carbon dating of C is dated to the twelfth century, as confirmed by paleography. The text of the code, written in the Syrian alphabet in the Estrangelo graphics, is in a high degree consistent with the standard Peshitta text (translation of the Bible into Syriac). Only six pages in the Gospels of Matthew, namely: 13, 14, 39, 40, 53 and 54, are written in Nestorian graphics. The last part of the Hebrew letter, which in the Syrian canon marked the end of the New Testament, was severely damaged and some parts of it were illegible. The Kaburis Code was obtained by Norman Yonan. In 1966 he tried to sell it as the Yonan Codex in the United States, declaring it to be the oldest manuscript of the New Testament, from the Assyrian Church of the East in Iraq. After his death in 1970, Dan MacDougald came into possession of the code and used it in his healing practices (mental illness and demonic expulsion). In 1995, the Kaburis Codex was examined by a specially established research team, which established its date on the twelfth century. In 1999 radioactive C was confirmed by dating. Its late age makes it unlikely that many of the most important Syrian manuscripts of the New Testament will ever be exchanged.
