The New Testament Peshitta and Peshitto

[Zechariah14]

Actually, according to my understanding, both the Peshitta and Peshitto "originals" lacked the Western 5 books. They were different in only a handful of places. Later revions of both the Peshitta and the Peshitto, included the Western 5. This was apparently done as the original Peshitta was sealed early. Given the time involved till Rabulla meddled stuff up, maybe the Peshitto has ALWAYS been a 27 book canon, while the older Peshitta has added the 5 after a while of only having 22. Paul can discuss that further when he's back.

But the original PeshittA had only the 22.
