I know this obviously isn't Peshitta, but since Aramaic and Hebrew are so closely related, I thought I'd put this out there. Has anyone ever studied Fran Delitzch's Hebrew New Testament and compared it with the Peshitta or Peshitto? I'm planning on getting it and a translation of the Delitzch Gospels that they have out.

I believe you are speaking about the ones being marketed by FFOZ, right? I looked into purchasing these editions of the Gospels just recently but then I began to see reviews here and there that they are not a scholarly reference but more of a witnessing tool for conversion of Jews to Christianity and/or Messianism rather than an accurate rendering of true Aramaic sources as they are based on Greek texts alone. I hope I am not speaking out of line here, does anyone have any real proof, having examined the Delitzch Gospels?
I should hasten to add that these were unverified reviews and I have not had the time to search out the vailidity of these claims being made about them.

Vine of David sells translations of the Delitzch Hebrew Gospels, so those are the ones I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure Delitzch translated from Greek though.

I made a mistake, I said that in one side was Hebrew and the other Aramaic. One side is English and the other is Hebrew. My suggestion is to find the entire Hebrew Delitzch New Testament instead of only having the gospels.

I found a full Hebrew Bible with Delitszch's New Testament. I'll probably still get the Hebrew Gospels though!
