In this article, I am going to present and discuss a hitherto unpublished and unstudied specimen of the testimonia literature in Syriac, which constitutes the earliest preserved representative of the genre in this language. Entitled Collection of demonstrations from the holy scriptures of the Old (Testament) against the Jews and the rest of unbelievers, this work is attested in a single textual witness, manuscript London, British Library Add. 12154.
