    "Ancient Bible Written in Syriac Found in Cyprus

    An ancient Bible written in Syriac, a dialect of Jesus’ native language, was found in Cyprus earlier this month.

    Turkish Cypriot police who performed a raid on suspected antiquity smugglers had found the Scriptures in the northern Turkish-controlled part of Cyprus, according to Reuters. The police testified in court that they believe the ancient holy text could be as old as 2,000 years.

    In the undated photo released by authorities, the Bible is shown with a drawing of a tree and eight lines of Syriac text in gold.

    Scholars are unsure if the manuscript is an original, which would make it priceless.

    But some experts noted the use of gold lettering would likely make the Bible significantly less than 2,000 years old.

    A manuscript specialist at the University of Cambridge library, J.F. Coakley, suggested that the discovered Bible could have been written later than the 15th century.

    "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,” Coakley said to Reuters.

    "On the basis of the one photo...if I'm not mistaken some words at least seem to be in modern Syriac, a language that was not written down until the mid-19th century," he added. "

    "In the 4th and 6th editions of 1540-1541, reference is made to Cuthbert, Bishop of Durham. This was Cuthbert Tonstall who had bought up many copies of Tyndale's New Testament in the 1520s so that he could burn them! Now his name on the title page gives authority to a Bible translation which in largest part is Tyndale's.

    In 1546 Henry VIII ordered that no one should receive or keep Tyndale's or Coverdale's New Testaments, which was absurd since the New Testament of the Great Bible was very close to Tyndale. When Henry VIII died on January 28, 1547, the Great Bible was still the version "appointed to the use of the churches" throughout England."
