This Qurbono 2008AD version of the Creed in Syriac, is the latest official version published
by the Antiochan Syriac Maronite Church.

Notes:
Some of the particularities found in Qurbono 1908AD, 1914AD, and 2008AD, find their

The Shhimto 1890AD is identical to the 1624AD. Also, the abridged versions of the Shhimto
prior to 1935AD match.

Notes:
We see two influences that impacted Abridged Shhimto 1935AD, from Qurbono 1914AD.

Notes:
When comparing the latest Qurbono version and Abridged Shhimto version, we see that
there are still differences, but also that there is some convergence.
