Syriac New Testament Bibliography

Peshitta Gospel lectionary (source).

Recently I’ve been compiling a bibliography of works on the Syriac NT relevant to textual criticism. I’ve tended not to put so much in about the Diatessaron, and in some cases have decided to exclude works that others might include, e.g. the book reviewed here. The bibliography merely covers the last 70 years. I would be most grateful to learn of any corrections or additions.
