After reading her intro, I noticed she has placed both the Eastern and Western Texts into one grouping as her excuse as to call her translation from the Peshitta, but they are two totally different texts so to speak - one (Eastern) from the first century, and the other (Western) a 5th century fabrication. She is also being misleading to the fact that the Peshitto did not exist until during the 5th century. She seems to be saying the Western Peshitto came first (as far back as 150 AD) and then the Eastern Peshitta was the one that redid the text after the split in 431 or 451, when really it is the other way around.

The reason I think she, as a Greek supremacist, claims the Peshitto to be the original is to help support Western Christianity. After all the Eastern PeshittA can not be used to support such theology.
