Additions
Addition 1 (Fol. 52b):
Fol. 52 b contains the Nicaeno-Constantinopolitan creed, in Arabic. The writer,
a Maronite priest of Mount Lebanon, from the district of Tripolis, named Saʾīd
ibn Buṭrus ibn Manṣūr, added a few lines at the end, stating that he had been a
prisoner for 12 years (at Al-Ḳāhira?) in the خِزانة البُنُود, or place where the royal standards were stored,
and was released in the days of al-Malik an-Nāṣir (Moḥammad ibn Ḳalāʾūn?) who
began to reign A.D. 1293).
