The literary headquarters of the Syriac-speaking Church was the city of Edessa (in Syriac Urhaii), which also had been the centre from which Christianity spread in all that region. The beginnings of Christianity at Edessa are lost in legend, but it is certain that the new religion was well established there before the city was absorbed into the Roman Empire during the reign of Caracalla (AD 216). The political independence of the little state accounts for the early translation of the Scriptures into the vernacular of the Euphrates Valley. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the year 420 AD the Gospel was extant in Syriac in three forms: The Peshitta; the Diatessaron of Titan; and the Old Syriac Gospels, called Evangelion Da-Mepharreshe.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main object of the following pages is to trace the history of the Evangelion Da-Mepharreshe, and to determine as far as possible its relations to the Diatessaron and to the Peshitta. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEVANGELION DA-MEPHARRESHE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Curetonian Version of the four Gospels, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith the readings of the Sinai Palimpsest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand the early Syriac Patristic evidence, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eedited, collected and arranged by\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eF.
