shlomo Rafa,
I don't think it is hidden away; we probably need someone with a known scholarly background to get us a copy of it, assuming that they are able to find the codex.
(This an opportunity for those with scholarly contacts to make use of them, to further our study of the Peshitta.)
I think the last person (I'm sure there are others) to get Syriac manuscripts out of the Vatican library was an Assyrian Bishop "Mar Bawai Soro" (although I'm not sure if he is still a bishop with the CoE), which resulted in the "Vatican Syriac Manuscripts: Volume 1" digitization of some of the Syriac manuscripts.
