Janet Magiera's PeshittO--Barnes and Noble Books

[Thirdwoe]

Her statement there about the names "Peshitto" vs "Peshitta" is true to an extent, but it's not that simple...it goes deeper than that. The texts are not the same, so the terms work well to differentiate them and are used now to make that distinction. They both could be termed "The Peshitta" or "The Peshitto" but then the distinction is lost to the unsuspecting.
