    Dean<\/a> Frederic William Farrar<\/strong> (Bombay, 7 August 1831 \u2013 Canterbury<\/a>, 22 March 1903) was a senior-ranking cleric of the Church of England<\/a> (Anglican<\/a>), schoolteacher and author. He was a pallbearer at the funeral of Charles Darwin<\/a> in 1882. He was a member of the Cambridge Apostles<\/a> secret society. He was the Archdeacon<\/a> of Westminster from 1883 to 1894, and Dean of Canterbury<\/a> from 1895 until his death in 1903.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Curetonian Gospels<\/strong>, designated by the siglum<\/em> syrcur<\/sup>, are contained in a manuscript of the four gospels of the New Testament<\/a> in Old Syriac<\/a>. Together with the Sinaiticus Palimpsest<\/a> the Curetonian Gospels form the Old Syriac Version, and are known as the Evangelion Dampharshe<\/strong> (“Separated Gospels”) in the Syriac Orthodox Church<\/a>.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Gospels are commonly named after William Cureton<\/a> who maintained that they represented an Aramaic Gospel and had not been translated from Greek (1858)[2]<\/a><\/sup> and differed considerably from the canonical Greek texts, with which they had been collated and “corrected”. Henry Harman (1885) concluded, however, that their originals had been Greek from the outset.[3]<\/a><\/sup> The order of the gospels is Matthew, Mark, John, Luke. The text is one of only two Syriac<\/a> manuscripts of the separate gospels that possibly predate the standard Syriac version, the Peshitta<\/a>; the other is the Sinaitic Palimpsest<\/a>. A fourth Syriac text is the harmonized Diatessaron<\/a><\/em>. The Curetonian Gospels and the Sinaitic Palimpsest appear to have been translated from independent Greek originals.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Syriac text of the codex is a representative of the Western text<\/a>. Significant variant readings include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
