*The Jewish Aramaic Peshitta (Njp) mentions these books as being canonical and in most cases are given Hebrew names
rather than Aramaic. The list corresponds to Codex Ambrosiano. Younan's manuscript contains the Hebrew Masoretic text
with extensive lists of vocabulary, variants, and other valuable information for those researching Aramaic Peshitta
manuscripts, and in particular Jewish Aramaic dialects. For more information on Judeo-Aramaic (a neo-Aramaic
dialect) click here. To discuss
this version, visit the translator's Tanakh/Targumim Forum.
