Shlama Albion,
You're right about Franz Delitzch's New Testament in Hebrew. The translation is a beautiful Hebrew edition if you can get over the bumpy Greek road he often travels on. With a copy of the Peshitta in hand one can easily correct Delitzch's work and you would have an accurate Hebrew edition of the NT.
As far as his son, he was actually an "Assyriologist" - not an actual Assyrian either ethnically or religious. As an Assyriologist, he studied the language, history and archaeology of ancient Mesopotamia. Unfortunately he was among the German scholars who denied the inspiration of the Scriptures.
