I've printed out Hebrews, Philemon, Titus, and 2nd Timothy...now I need to get more ink!!! <!-- s

Shamasha Paul, or Ahki Jeremy...or any others who can read the words at the start and end of the Manuscript, and perhaps give a translation of these pages?...I can make some of it out, and it looks like it may be interesting...at the end of Hebrews is a long section for instance, which looks to me to be Biographical scetch of all The Apostles and possibly their companions, also the 7, and the 70 looks like. And also, what looks like a break down summary of the Books of the NT as they appear in the text. 4 Gospels (Matt, Mark, Luke, and John) Acts of the Apostles, 3 General Epistles (James, Peter, and John), and 14 Epistles of Paul, including Hebrews at the end. No mention of the W5 looks like...which is to be expected, for a true Eastern Peshitta Manuscript which this certainly is.
I'm calling this very important, (at least 814 year old Eastern Peshitta Manuscript), "The Asahel Grant Ms.", or just "The Grant Ms.", Harvard calls it "Syriac 4", which is no good for a name...and as this copy of The Eastern Peshitta was given as a gift from His Holiness Mar Shimun Abraham, to the dear Dr. Asahel Grant, whom they loved...and who died shortly after he published his book about his time living with the Assyrian People, and The Church of the East members, whom he ministered and doctored among. Later, when he died at the young age of just 37, after his Wife and Children are said to have all died before him...I've read that "all Mosul wept" at his passing.
