Luc Lefebvre Wrote:Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification Paul! Is the text in the "little red book" the same as the "red book" by the Bible Society in Israel with the Hebrew translation? That's the one I have but it doesn't seem to indicate where the text came from other than it being the Eastern Peshitta.
No, it's one of either two printings published in New York and Beirut.
Here's the 1886 New York edition:

This is the eastern version, in Swadaya (contemporary) script complete with vowel markings. It also contains the "Western Five" with the standard verbiage that they're not part of the Peshitta manuscript history. The Psalms are there as well. Start from the bottom - Google Books scanned it in "western" order. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
