Oldest handwritten copies of the New Testament in Syriac
Syriac-language manuscripts of the New Testament include some of the earliest and most important witnesses for textual criticism of the New Testament.[citation needed] Over 350 Syriac manuscripts of the New Testament have survived into the 21st century.[citation needed] The majority of them represent the Peshitta version.[citation needed] Only a very few manuscripts represent Old Syriac versions.[citation needed] Some manuscripts represent a mixed or eclectic text.[citation needed]
