- Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (1995, 1998) argues that one of the rabbinical translations of Matthew found interspersed in the 14th-century Hebrew work The Touchstone of Ibn Shaprut may preserve a lost Hebrew original to the Greek Gospel of Matthew. Though scholars such as William Horbury (1999) generally reject Howard's thesis and consider Ibn Shaprut's text to be a translation of a medieval Latin version into Hebrew.[4][5][6][7][8]
