INTRODUCTION: This is a scrupulous transcription of the Mingana Syriac 148 Codex, an Eastern Peshitta manuscript of the 22 books of the writings of Yeshua's followers (a.k.a. "NT").  Posted on the Accordance Exchange with the explicit permission of ???? ??? (Bayt Sapra), who holds the copyright, and first made these files available for BibleWorks.

See the accompanying MS Word document in the zip file for further information on this particular manuscript, on the Aramaic Manuscript Project in general, and functional notes regarding the project.

ACCORDANCE NOTES: This file is in Hebrew "K'tav Asshurit" (square script) for better cross-search functionality in Accordance, and for easier reference and comparison to other Hebrew-letter modules of the "NT"--whether Hebrew versions, or Aramaic versions such as the Peshitta, Old Syriac Sinaiticus, or Curetonian manuscripts.

The backslash character "/" is used in this module for blank verses where no text exists--either because this particular manuscript just happens to be missing the text there, or because the Eastern Peshitta in general doesn't contain the text.  In sum total, the combination of these factors result in a backslash character "/" existing in all of the following places: Luke 22:17-18, John 7:53-8:11, Acts 8:37, Act 15:34, Act 28:29, and the "Western Five" books of 2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation.
