What it is

Why it lasted
The Bible of every Syriac church to this day, and an important independent witness to the Hebrew and Greek texts.
Where to read it
This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
