Additions

N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 178b): The colophon, fol. 178 b, informs us that the latter portion of the manuscript was written, and the whole of it repaired and bound, in the year 1477, A.D. 1166, by the monk Abraham, the son of Paul, called Bar-Kazzāzē (or the son of the silk-merchants, قَزّاز), at the expense of a noble lady named 'Azīza (ܣܝܬܐ ܥܙܝܙܬܐ, السيّدة عَزِيزَة). ܫܠܡ ܒܥܘܕܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܘܡ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܘܠ ܝܪܚܐ ܒܪܝܟܐ. ܫܢܬ݀ ܐܠܦ ܘܐܪ̈ܒܥܡܐܐ ܘܫܒ̈ܥܝܢ ܘܫ̈ܒܥܐ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ: ܟܬܒ̣ ܕܝܢ ܘܕܒ݁ܩ̣ ܘܚܲܕܬ ܗܠܝܢ܇ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܒܩ̈܏ܫܝ. ܘܒܫܡܐ ܕܝܪܝܐ. ܒܪ ܦܘܠܘܣ. ܕܡܬܕܠܲܠ ܒܪ ܩ̈ܙܙܐ: ܒܝܕ ܝ̇ܨܝܦ̣ܘܬܐ ܘܢܦܩ̈ܬܐ ܕܣܝܬܐ ܥܙܝܙܬܐ. ܡܪܒܝ̣ܬ݀ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ. ܘܡܩܒ݁ܠ̣ܬ݀ ܐܟܣ̈ܢܝܐ. ܘܡܚܲܕܬ݀ ܡܕܒ̈ܚܐ. ܘܡܩ̣ܝܡܬ݀ ܥܕ̈ܬܐ. ܘܡܫܡ̇ܠ̣ܝܬ݀ ܠܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܐܘܢܓ̈ܠܝܐ. ܐܠܐ ܒܒܥ̣ܘ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܡܗܝ̣ܪܐ. ܘܐܚܐ ܡܫܝܚܝܐ. ܘܟܪܝܣܛܝܢܐ ܫܪܝܫܐ. ܕܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܥܠ ܥܙܝܙܬܐ ܕܐܡܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ. ܘܥܠ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܗ̇ ܡܢܚ̈ܐ. ܘܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܿܬܦ. ܐܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܥܒ݁ܕܐ. ܘܗ̇ܘ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܨ̇ܠܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܥܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܐܬܕܟ݂ܪܢܢ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ܆ ܐܦ ܗ̣ܘ ܡ̇ܢ ܢܬܚ̇ܣܐ . ܐܡܝܢ܀ ܘܐܣܪܚܘ ܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܠܟܬܘܿܒܐ ܒܠܝ̣ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܒܠܝ̣ܠܘܬ݀ ܟܬܝܒܬ݂ܗ. ܒܝܕ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܗ̇ܢܘܬܐ ܕܟ݁ܬܘܒܐ. ܘܒܪܗܝܒ̣ܘܬܐ ܟܬ̣ܒ ܘܫ̇ܡ̣ܠܝ. ܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܲܣܐ ܠܟܠܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ. ܐܝܢ. ܘܐܡܝܢ
Addition 2 (Fol. 178b): A note in the centre of fol. 178 b states that this book was conveyed from the Syrian church at Nābulūs in Palestine into Egypt, and there purchased by Rabban 'Azīz of Bartellā, near Nineveh (Mosul), who sold it to Rabban Zākhē the Tagritan, in the year 1501, A.D. 1190. ܐܫܬܩܠܬ݀ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܢܐܒܠܘܣ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܥܠ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܘܐܙܕܒܢܬ݀ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܙܒ̣ܢܗ̇ ܪܒܢ ܥܙܝܙ ܒܪܛܠܝܐ. ܐܘܿܟܝܬܐ ܢܝܢܘܼܝܐ: ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܙܒܢܗ̇ ܠܪܒܢ ܙܟ̇ܐ ܟܪܡܘܢܝܐ ܐܘܟܝܬ ܬܐܓܪܝܬܢܝܐ. ܗܘ̣ܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܫܢܬ ܐܠܦ ܘܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܘܚܕܐ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ
Addition 3 (Fol. 178b): A note at the top of 178 b, in a large hand, states that 'Azīz of Bartellā (بَرْطُلَّي) purchased this manuscript in the monastery of Khandak (الخَنْدَق) near Cairo, in the year ܐܠܦ ܘܬ܏ܚ , which is a mistake for ܐܠܦ ܘ܏ܬܩ , A.D. 1500, A. Gr. 1189; for the capture of Jerusalem by Salāh al-Dīn, or Saladin, of which the writer makes mention, took place A.H. 583, A.D. 1187-8 (see Abul- fedae Annales Muslemici, ed. Reiske and Adler, t. iv., p. 81). ܙܒ̣ܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܲܙܝܙ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܪܛܠܠܗ ܒܕܝܪܐ ܕܟܲܢܕܩ ܕܥܠ ܓܢ̣ܒ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܫܢܬ ܐܠܦ ܘ܏ܬܚ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܙܢ̣ܬ݁ ܠܗ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܒܫ̇ܢܬ݂ܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܡܲܫܩܠܗ̇ ܡ̇ܪܝܪܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ
Addition 4 (Fol. 178b): In another note, at the foot of fol. 178 b, in the handwriting of one Peter of Bartellā, we are told that the second purchaser Zākhē, whose proper name was Jacob, was by birth a Tagritan, and a monk of the monastery of Mār Matthew on the mountain of Elpheph, in the region of Nineveh or Mosul. ܙܟ݁ܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܝܥܩܘܼܒ ܡܪܗ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܓܢ̣ܣܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܡ̣ܢ ܬܓ̣ܪܝܬ ܒܐܣܟܝܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܐ̣ܘܟܝܬ ܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܡܬܝ ܢܨ̇ܝܚܐ. ܕܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܐܠܦܦ ܕܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܢܝܢܘܐ ܘܕܡܘܨܠ. ܟܬܒ ܦܛܪܘܣ ܒܪܛܠܝܐ
Addition 5 (Fol. 178b): On fol. 178 b also stands the following anathema: ܚ̣ܪܡܐ ܕܐ̇ܒܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܡܐ܇ ܘܕܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܥܘܡܩܐ܇ ܘܕܪܘܚܐ ܡܢ ܡܨ̇ܥܬܐ̣. ܒܪܝܫܗ ܕܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܡܪܚ: ܘܠ̇ܚܐ ܐ̣ܘܓ݁ܪܕ ܠܥܘ̈ܗܕܢܐ ܗ̇ܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܝ̣ܒܝܢ ܗܪܟܐ
Addition 6 (Fol. 1a): The note on fol. 1 a is so much effaced, that only a very few words are here and there legible.
Addition 7: The writing on the margins of many of the leaves (doubtless additional hymns and prayers) has also been in great part erased.
