Estrangela script (multiple hands) ܀ Parchment Codex, 129 leaves.
Wright's Subject Classification: New Testament
This manuscript contains: The four Gospels, according to the Peshitta version. In total, including sub-sections, this manuscript contains 5 items.

Physical Description

Vellum leaves, about 12 3/8 in. by 10, of which foll. 151 and 152 are much mutilated. The quires, originally 21 in number, are signed with letters (see fol. 23a, ܗ; fol. 44a, ܛ; fol. 69a, ܝܒ; etc.). The more recent numeration is incorrect. Leaves are wanting at the end, as well as after foll. 32, 33, 53, 78, 98 and 147. Each page is divided into two columns, containing from 21 to 26 lines. Foll. 1-22 belong to Add. 14,451* , but have long been bound up with this manuscript. Fol. 58 is a modern addition and palimpsest (see Add. 14,452, fol. 58, lower text ).

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): The writing is a fine, regular Estrangela, of the vith or viith cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): Later hands have added Syriac vowels and diacritical points sparingly in this part of the volume.
Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): The larger sections have been noted on the margins in black by a modern hand.
Hand 4 (minor, Unspecified Greek script): There is also a marginal division into sections by an old Greek hand.
Decoration (Rubrication): The lessons are rubricated in the text in the usual way.

Item 1 (Fol. 23a): The four Gospels, according to the Peshitta version [defective]
Note: The Ammonian sections and Eusebian canons are marked with red ink in the text this volume, and there is a harmony at the foot of each page. The large red Syriac letters on the margins (e.g. fol. 29 a, ܟܘ; fol. 30b, ܠ; fol. 31b, ܟܙ; fol. 34b, ܨܚ, fol. 37 a, ܣܘ; fol. 48 a, ܚ; fol. 48b, ܝ; fol. 59 a, ܦܒ; etc.) are probably references to an index of lessons, ܦܘܪܫ ܩܪ̈ܝܢܐ once prefixed to the book, but now lost.

Note: The only other portion missing is ch. xxvii. 31—xxviii. 5.
