Otto,
OLB Peshitta module is ALMOST the same as the printed edition. The (very minor) differences are in the following verses:
> 1. AC 21:30 - first occurence of of the word KLH (whole), (i.e. second word in the verse) is missing in OLB
> 2. AC 23:26 - additional word in OLB
> 3. 1CO 2:11 - word anoshoa is missing in OLB
> 4. 1P 2:20 - OLB: additional alap in the word walcyn
> 5. Re 19:17 - one word missing in OLB
> 6. Re 22:21 - OLB has three shin letters at the end
These are the results of a comparison that I have run In March 2008. I had compared OLB electronic text with another electronic text of the Peshitta downloaded from one of the Peshitta web sites. The results of that automated comparison I have then compared with "The New Testament in Syriac" edition printed in 1966 (it is a reprint of BFBS 1905-1920 edition of the Peshitta).
Peace and blessings,
Jerzy
