New Module — Intro. to Norton's NT Peshitta Trans.

MS 2080 in the Schøyen Coll.Ewan MacLeod has compiled and tagged a new module which will be of special interest to scholars of the Syriac New Testament:
Norton, William. A Translation of the Peshito-Syriac Text and of the Received Greek Text of Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and 1 John, With an Introduction, on the Peshito-Syriac Text, and The Revised Greek Text of 1881. London: W.K. Bloom, 1889.
In essence, this module is an "extensive introduction" to a translation already included in BibleWorks 7.0 — the Norton Translation of the NT Peshitta (NOR). According to the NOR copyright & source file, this introduction includes a "history of the Peshitta and an analysis of readings compared with the Greek text." It also "has footnotes regarding the variant readings of the Peshitta." Ewan has been kind enough to convert this introduction into a CHM Module, that is completely tagged and tied into the Resource Summary Window. Many thanks, Ewan!
