Could be so...among the Jews in Israel and Judah, but, the letters would look more like what is seen in the Samaritan copies we see today, or that among the Dead Sea Scrolls, than modern Hebrew fonts...

What do you think is meant by "Edessian letters" though, where the copy of 78 A.D. which was in Baghdad, and was said to be in that script? Was this a transliteration of the original Hebrew character Aramaic NT, if not a Translation of it?
