Ebedjesu's lost commentaries

I'm looking at "Whispers from the Sources". This is a list of exegetical work known, or related to, Assemani / "Ebedjesu" in our Middle Ages.

In those days the Mongols at Tabriz were allowing to these Christians perhaps their last era of protection. 'Abdisho' is the last we'll read of many of these commentaries.

I wonder if one reason the commentaries failed to survive is their very success; the gems are stored in the Diyarbakri commentary and by Isho'dad of Margiana/Merv.
