Shlama Akha,
I just sent two new articles to Dan Gan, which he has posted on ultimasurf.com.
One is a detailed, verse by verse comparison of 84 verses between The Peshitta, three Greek versions and The Latin Vulgate (AD 405) in the book of Acts.
The results show the Peshitta has unique readings in more than half of the verses and cannot be explained as a translation of any Greek text in those places.
It also varies in its occasional agreement with one Greek text, then another, then Latin Vulgate (a Western text translated from a western Greek text by Jerome).
The other article is a similar study in The Gospel of Mark - all of chapt. 4 and 21 verses in chapt. 5.
The results are very similar to those in Acts.
53% of the Peshitta readings are unique and are independent of all Greek texts.
The total number of verses for both studies is 146;the cumulative percentage of unique Peshitta readings is 54%.
I have made textual notes and comments under a considerable number of the verses,
highlighting the unique textual readings in The Peshitta and Murdock's translation. There are translations listed for each text type as well, parallel to The Peshitta.
There is a summary at the end of each article, as well as other NT analysis of the name of "Yeshua"&"Jesus" in Aramaic & Greek and the wide discrepancies in total numbers (many more in Aramaic), as well as the number of times the name "Elaha" and the Greek "Theos" occur in The NT.
Everthing can be found at the link below.
Bon appetit !
