Physical Description
Paper, about 6 7/8 in. by 5 1/8, consisting of 140 leaves, some of which are much stained, and torn, especially foll. 1—4, 53, 54, 121, and 136—140. The quires, signed with letters, were 15 or 16 in number. Leaves are wanting at the beginning, as well as after foll. 4, 12 (one), 52 (one), and 136. There are from 18 to 25 lines in each page.
Hand 1 (major, Unspecified Syriac script):
This volume is written in a neat, regular hand of the xiith
cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script):
The handwriting on the flyleaves (foll. 137-139) is cursive, but of not much later
date than
the rest of the manuscript. The writer seems to have been the same
Rabban Samuel bar Mĕkhīr, whose name appears on the margin
of fol. 136 b.
Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script):
This [prayer of Ephraim] is in a different hand, apparently that of
Rabban Iyūb of Māridīn, who has recorded his name, and the date A. Gr.
1552 (A.D. 1241), on fol. 140 a.
