Shlama,
what you propose would be a fantastic tool to have, and who knows what the results would show? to my knowledge such a great undertaking has not ever been done. but it would be a wonderful thing to see a reality.
as for the scenario you've presented:
-- i think it may indeed have occurred that way.
initiating such an undertaking as you propose may be the only way to really nail down such a theory.
i'm currently going over the Peshitta and the Greek texts with a fine-toothed comb, to the best of my personal ability, and noting each and every variant and different reading between the texts that i possibly can which appear significant enough to possibly have an answer as a copyist/translator mistake, but i hadn't thought to catalogue them the way you've suggested.
but in my opinion, that is a great idea - just a big undertaking! <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->

Quote:What do you think:
DSS > Estrangelo > Greek
\ Greek
That Estrangelo was made very early and the Greek made from both DSS and Estrangelo in different places?
