Burke on the Syriac Life of Mary

APOCRYPHICITY: LOST AND FOUND ITEMS IN MANUSCRIPTS OF THE LIFE OF MARY (Tony Burke).
In the course of my manuscript hunting and gathering, I came across some manuscripts that should be of interest to a wider audience of scholars than the few of us who work on Infancy Thomas. This is one of the joys of text-critical research: the serendipitous discovery of texts or versions of texts obscured, in many cases, by sloppy cataloguing—because the cataloger either missed or misidentified the material. ...
The discussion is technical, but will especially be of interest to specialists in Syriac studies and the New Testament Apocrypha.
