Shlama Akhi Gentile,
Since we get this question a lot, I've created a F.A.Q. entry here:
http://www.peshitta.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723
Revelation, Jude, 2Peter, 2John and 3John are not part of the Peshitta canon. These 5 books were translated from Greek into Aramaic by Philoxenus of Mabbug and Thomas of Harkel, both of the Syriac Orthodox Church in Byzantium, in the 5-6th centuries.
Lamsa used these translations, found in the 1890 Mosul edition (Roman Catholic Chaldean 27-book "Peshitta"), in his translation work.
