Here is a collection recently launched:

Virtual Manuscript Room

Quote:The Virtual Manuscript Room (VMR) will bring together digital resources related to manuscript materials (digital images, descriptions and other metadata, transcripts) in an environment which will permit libraries to add images, scholars to add and edit metadata and transcripts online, and users to access material [...]

A list of the manuscripts online:

An special attention to the manuscript Mingana Syriac 148, which seems to contain an Eastern PeshittA (folios 13-327).

Shlama Akhi Phil,

I scrolled down to page 185 of that Mingana 148 link you posted. Wow! I'd like for Paul to see this!
Some characters are Swadaya (Contemporary) and some are Estrangela. I wonder if this was from a transitional period or something where Ancient Aramaic script was progressively moving towards Classical Aramaic script. This is really curious!

Peace and Blessings, Larry

Shlama Akhi,

It seems to me to be all Swadaya....a rather late manuscript (16th century or later)
