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:
The margins of this manuscript are even more thickly studded with notes of various kinds than these of Add.12,153 and Add.14,547.
Addition 2 (Fol. 187b):
At the top of fol. 187b we read the words:
ܐܝܟ ܕܚ̇ܕܐ ܣ̇ܚܝܐ ܡܐ ܕܡܡܢܥ ܠܠܡܐܢܐ̣. ܗܟܢܐ ܚ̇ܕܐ ܘܡ̇ܬܦ̣ܨܚ ܟܬܘܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܡܢܥ ܠܣܘܪܓܕܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ.
These are followed by a long note, the first line of which has undergone two successive erasures, so that now only the words ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ are legible. From the remainder it appears that the name of the scribe was Abraham…………
ܕܝ̣ܢ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ̣ ܘܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܦܓ݁ܥܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ̣. ܘܡܛܠ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛ݁ܒܐ ܕܥ̈ܢܝܕܘܗܝ. ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܫ̇ܩܠ ܠܗ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܠ̣ܬܐ ܐ̇ܝܕܐ ܕܗ̣ܝ: ܘܠܐ ܡ̇ܦܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܪ̈ܘܗܝ̣. ܢ̇ܗܘܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܕܡܢ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܣ̇ܠܩܐ ܡـ[ـܚܫܒ]ـܬܐ ܒܝ̣ܫܬܐ ܥܠ ܪܥܝܢܗ: ܗ̇ܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܛ̇ܫܝܘܗܝ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ . . . ܐܘ ܕܢܦ̣ܣܘܩ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ: ܕܚ̇ܫܚܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܨ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܘܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܥ̈ܢܝܕܐ ܘܠܒܢܝܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ̣. ܥܠ ܦܣܩܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܝܗ̣ܒ ܡܪܢ ܠܫ̈ܠܝܚܐ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܐ ܥ̇ܒܪ܇ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܬܐܣܪܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܣܝܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܫܪܟܐ. ܟܬܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܟܐܪܬ ܐܝ̣̈ܕܝܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܡـ . . . ܘܡܛܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܦ̣ܝܣ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܠ ܕܦ̇ܓܥ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܗ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܗ̣ܘܬ ܠܗ ܒܗ ܝܨܝܦܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܡܠܝܐ ܛ̇ܒܐ ܘܡܘܬܪܢܐ̣. ܐܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ̣ ܘܐܢ ܒܣܘܥܪܢܐ. ܘܫ.
Addition 3 (Fol. 187b):
On the margin, opposite lines 3—5 of the above note, there are some words, in a different hand, now partially effaced, apparently the names of later owners.
. . . ܡܪܝܐ ܬܐܘܡܐ . . .ܕܘܡܝܛܝܘܣ
. . . ܩܠܝܬܐ ܕܐܘܣܒ . . . ܦܝܠܠܓܪܝܘܣ
Addition 4 (Fol. 187b):
At the foot of the page there was another note of considerable length, but of later date, which has been purposely erased. The few words legible show that it referred to at least two persons as purchasers and donors.
Addition 5 (Fol. 2a):
On fol. 2a there are some words in the handwriting of one George, a bishop,—apparently a mere trial of the pen:
ܥܠ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩــܢ ܝܫܘܥܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܫܪܝܢܢ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܓܪܝܘܓܘܪܝܘܣ ܟܬܒ ܓܘܪܓܝܣ ܚܛܝܐ ܒܗܝܡܢ
To which another hand has added:
ܓܘܪܓܝܣܐܦܝܣܘܦܐܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܒܗܝܡܢ.
Addition 6 (Fol. 2a):
Here too is recorded the name of Rabban Mĕkīm of Edessa, who possessed the book by inheritance from his spiritual father Rabban Bar-had-bĕ-shabbā, the disciple of Mār Yūhannan ܢܩ̇ܪ.
ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܪܒܢ ܡܩܝܡ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܕܐܘܪܗܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܬܬܓܥܠ ܡܢ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ
ܕܐܒ̈ܗ݅ܘ݅ܝ
ܕܐܒܘܗܝ
ܪܒܢ ܒܪܚܕܒܫܒܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܢܩ̇ܪ ܨ̣ܠܘܬܗ ܬܥܕܪ ܠܢ.
Addition 7 (Fol. 1a):
On fol. 1a there is a note, in the usual form, stating that this was one of the 250 volumes, brought to the convent of S. Mary Deipara by the abbat Moses of Nisibis, A. Gr.1243, A.D.932. On the verso of the same leaf is written the name of ⲤΤΕΦΑΝΟⲤ, and the word Theologus, once in Greek,ΘΕΩΛΩΓΟⲤ
, and twice in Syriac.
