Ahka Andrew & Rob,
I have the Aramaic - Hebrew Version you mention as well; I have found a considerable number of very interesting variants between it and the edition of Gwynn in the Catholic epistles as found in 1979 Syriac Bible (identical to Online Bible's Peshitta version in Hebrew letters). Jude and Revelation especially have interesting differences from The Peshitto edition above(Aramaic-Hebrew).
For Rob : The Syriac Bible can be found at
http://www.anybook4less.com/compare.html
The Online Bible Peshitta module and the free Online Bible program is at:
http://www.online-bible.com/winonlinebible.html
These are critical editions of the Peshitta Bible. The Gospels are based on 42 mss. from Gwilliams edition;the Pauline epistles are based on Gwilliams critical edition using 14 ancient Peshitta mss; The Catholic Epistles and Revelation are based on 7 Peshitta mss. There is no other such critical edition of the entire NT aside from Kiraz comparitive edition.
We need to become familiar with this , as it the basis for comparison in modern studies of The Peshitta.
Using one or 2 mss. for an edition is woefully inadequate, as The Aramaic- Hebrew edition uses.
