Shlama,
Thank you very much for this valuable information. I'll be purchasing the first one and later on, probably the second one. The second one is a bit pricey for me but I do want to have it. If it's not copyrighted, at least the pages of the text itself, I may scan this in so people who can't afford to purchase this can at least access/download the photographs. But I'll have to check the copyrights and see if there would be any problems with that first.
That probably has to be the understatement of the year. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> I totally agree. While I appreciate all the work in Peshitta NT research and translation work, it is sad that not enough is being done in Peshitta Tanakh, which is one of my goals. I'd like to see people have both the Tanakh and New Covenant in their hands with proper English and Spanish translations of the same, and without charge to sincere individuals if at all possible. To this end I am in the middle of preparing what I'm calling the "Peshitta Polyglot" of both the Tanakh and NT with the Aramaic/Syriac, Hebrew, English, Spanish and a comprehensive section on how other translations (other languages, NIV, KJV, etc) render certain passages, words or phrases.
This second one I linked to in aramaicbooks.com mentions that it has some of Josephus' writings in it. If I'm not mistaken, this would be Josephus' Book VI (Jewish Wars). If I'm not mistaken Codex Ambrosianus has Josephus' writings in it as well the other so called Apocryphal books. And isn't Cod. Ambrosianus the only one with the complete Duetero-canonical books?
Thanks again for your comments. This is helpful.
