* The Jewish Aramaic Peshitta mentions these books as being canonical and in most cases are given Hebrew names rather than Aramaic. The list corresponds to Codex Ambrosiano. Younan's manuscript contains the Hebrew Masoretic text with extensive lists of vocabulary, variants, and other valuable information for those researching Aramaic Peshitta manuscripts, and in particular Jewish Aramaic dialects.

Where can I get an edition of this Peshitta Tan"kh, containing the
full complete canon, including the writings of Josephus, in Hebrew
square characters, so that I can read it more easily?

Shlama,

The Aramaic Book store has one of these you can purchase in printed
form. http://www.aramaicbooks.com/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=91

You can find high resolution scans of the Codex Ambrosianus by doing a
google search. I currently don't have a link to the site which has
those.

I have checked out the links that you sent me. They are excellent. I
read Estrangela Character better than I do Nestoria/Swadaya Character,
and Jacobite/Serto Character, but I read Hebrew Character best of all.
If I could save up the money to purchase a copy of the Codex
Ambrosianus in Estrangela Character from Aramaic Books at: www.aramaicbookscom,
I suppose I could easily use my computer's Wordpad features to
carefully transcribe it over to Hebrew Character easily enough
though.

Shlama,

You could also probably use a good OCR program from Adobe to scan the text into your computer.  However, such software can be very expensive for most people, including myself.
