Comment posted on Surviving MSS- Old Testament Manuscripts, Psalms and New Testament Manuscripts of Christians of Saint Thomas by Steven Ring

Shlomo l-kulkon,

Although I am a Syriac scholar, I am also aware of many refernces to Isho`a Meshiha which occur in the Vedas and in ancient Buddhist manuscripts written in the Pali language. In particular, there is a life of Isho`a Mishiha in Pali which has not been edited. This apparently survives in several Mss in Northern India and Tibet. These two early literary sources may also contain references to the early spread of Christianity in India, but as far as I know these sources have not been explored. Why is that do you think?
