Gregory of Nazianzus. The first volume of the works of Gregory Theologus of Nazianzus

Physical Description

Vellum, about 11 ¼ in. by 8, consisting of 206 leaves, a few of which, near the end, are slightly stained and torn. The quires are numbered throughout with letters, but this must have been done, in part at least, by a later hand, as the 10th is also signed with the letter ܐ, and the next four with the arithmetical figures %, %, %, and %. The quires, ܒ ,ܓ and ܕ are marked on the last leaf with the Coptic ciphers %, % and %. The manuscript is not all the work of one hand. Each page is divided into two columns, but the number of lines in each column varies very considerably. It is dated A. Gr. 1156, A.D. 845.

Hand 1 (major, Unspecified Syriac script): Foll. 1—42 are written in a neat cursive character. See additions.

Hand 2 (major, ): On fol. 43 a the second scribe began also to write a cursive hand, but almost immediately changed it to Esṭrangĕlā (fol. 43b), which he continued as far as fol. 139, reverting then to the cursive. See additions.

Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Greek script): Greek vowels have been occasionally added by later hands.

Hand 4 (minor, Unspecified Greek script): See additions.

Hand 5 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): The quires are numbered throughout with letters, but this must have been done, in part at least, by a later hand, as the 10th is also signed with the letter ܐ, and the next four with the arithmetical figures,,and.

Decoration (Ornamentation): On fol. 206 a there is a circular ornament, coloured with red, green and yellow paint.

Additions

N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.

Addition 1 (Fol. 205b): On fol. 205b, after the doxology, there is a long colophon, stating that the greater part of this volume was written by one Ephraim, a stylite, of Kĕphar-Taurĕthā, near Zeugma,On Zeugma and Urem Castra, see Assemani, Bibl. Orient., t. ii., dissert. de monophys., art. IX . in the year 1156, A.D.845, when Dionysius Dionysius I., of Tel-maḥar, who died on the 22nd of August in this same year (1156). See Assemani, Bibl. Orient., t. ii., p. 344 ; Le Quien, Or. Christ., t. ii., col. 1372 . was patriarch of Antioch, and David bishop of Urem Castra, for the use of one George, a monk of the convent of Job at ܫܪܟܝܫ (سرخس?). ܟܠ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܦܓܥ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ: ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ̣. ܢܨ̇ܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܢ̇ܛܪ ܐܣܛܘܢܐ ܕܕܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܟܦܪܬܘܪܬܐ܇ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܓܢ̣ܒ ܙܘܓܡܐ. ܕܟܬ݂ܒ ܣܘܓܐܗ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ̣ ܐܝܟ ܚܝ̇ܠܗ. ܘܬܪܨ̇ ܟܡܐ ܕܐܫܟܚ ܚܝ̇ܠܗ. ܘܕܒ̇ܩ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܕܪܟ̣ܬ݁ ܝܕܥܬܗ. ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ܆ ܘܕܐܚ̈ܘܗܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܪ̈ܝܣܛܝܢܐ ܡܗܝ̈ܡܢܐ. ܨܠܘ ܐܚ̈ܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܬܚܢܢ ܗ̣ܘ ܘܥܢ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܪ̈ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܦܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢ̣ܐ. ܐܝܟ ܓܝ̇ܣܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܨܠܝܒ ܗܘܐ. ܐܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ ܘܐܡܝܢ܀ ܐܫܬ̇ܡ̣ܠܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܓܪܝܓܪܝܘܣ ܬܐܘܠܘܓܘܣ܆ ܫܢܬ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܫܬ ܒܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ. ܒܝ̈ܘܡܝ ܚܣܝܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܠܒܝܫ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܦܐܛܪܝܐܪܟܝܣ ܡܪܝ ܕܝ݊ܢܘܣ݊ܝܘ݊ܣ ܕܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܫܠܝܚܝܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܬܘܕܘܟܣܘ ܕܐܢܛܝܘܟܝܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ. ܘܒܝ̈ܘܡܝ ܚܣܝܐ ܘܛܘܒܬܢܐ ܐܒܐܣ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܘ݊ܝܕ ܐܦܝܣܩܘܦܐ ܕܐܘܪܡ ܩܣܛܪܐ܇ ܕܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܢܗܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܦܪܬ. ܐܬܚ̇ܦܛ ܕܝܢ ܘܥܒ̣ܕ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ̣. ܡܪܝ ܓܐܘܪܓܝ ܛܘܒܢܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܐܝܘܒ ܕܫܪܟܝܫ. ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܘܕܟܠ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܒܗ. ܘܚܠ̣ܦ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܛ̇ܒܐ ܕܥܢܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ. ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܏ܘܫ.

Addition 2: The margins of this manuscript are covered with notes, in the same hand¬writings as the text, which are probably due either to the translator Paul or to the patriarch Athanasius II. Many of them are either various readings (see in particular fol.147b), or references to Scripture; but others relate to the occasions of the sermons, or are explanatory of words or passages in them. For example—Fol.5a. On the 3rd sermon: ܟܕ ܐܬܥܒܕ ܩܫܝܫܐ̣. ܫܢܝ ܠܦ݁ܢܛܘܣ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܫ܇ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܙܘܥܬܐ ܕܪܒܘܬ ܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܟܗܢܘܬܐ. ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܚ̇ܫܒ ܡܛܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗ̈ܘܝ܆ ܘܕܠܐ ܙܕܩ̇ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩ̇ܪܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ̣. ܦܢ̣ܐ ܠܐܪܝܢܙܘ. ܘܥܒ̣ܕ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܐ. ܡܛܠ ܥܪܘܩܝܗ̣. ܘܥܠ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܦܢ̣ܐ. ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܦܝܣܝܘܗܝ ܩܠܝܪ̈ܝܩܘ ܕܐܢܙܝܢܙܘ ܕܢܥܕܥܕ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ. ܘܥ̣ܒܕ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ܇ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܥܡܐ. ܘܗ̣ܘ ܡ̇ܢ ܐܬܐ̣. ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܫ̣ܘ. ܘܥܕܥܕ ܥܡ ܙܥܘܪ̈ܐ. ܘܥܠ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܐܡ̣ܪ: ܕܒܨܝܪ ܩܠܝܠ ܟ̇ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܛܝܒܬ ܠܡܫܬܘܬܐ. ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܟܕ ܐܬ݂ܐ ܘܥ̣ܒܕ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܠܘܬ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܩܪ̈ܘ ܒܫܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܦܓܥܘ: On the passage in the same discourse:ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܕ ܕܩܫܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ̇: ܗ̇ܝ ܕܢܕܥ ܠܡ̇ܗܘܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܝܫܐ̣. ܏ܘܫ(Opp., t. i., p. 17, A ), there is the note, fol.6b: ܡܢ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܫ ܟܡܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܠܗ ܕܢܫ̇ܬܥܒܕ ܠܪܝܫ̈ܢܐ̣. ܡܢܗ̇ ܝ̇ܠܦ ܟܡܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܝܫܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܫܝܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܬܡܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܝܫܐ ܕܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ.

In the 22nd discourse, the words ܠܐ ܝܠܝܕܐ ܘܝܠܝܕܐ, τὸ ἀγέννητον καὶ τὸ γεννητόν(Opp. t. i., p. 530, D ), are thus explained, fol.138b: ܠܐ ܝܠܝ̣ܕܐ ܘܝܠܝ̣ܕܐ ܒܝܘܢܝܐ̣ ܐܓܘܢܝ̣ܛܘܢ ܘܓܢܛܘܢ ܡܬܩܪܐ. ܐܓܘܢܝ̇ܛܘܢ ܡܬܩ̣ܪܐ ܒܬܠܬ̈ܐ ܟܘ̈ܢܝܐ܆ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܬ̈ܐ ܣܘ̈ܟܠܐ. ܠܐ ܝܠܝ̣ܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܒ̣ܪܝܐ̣ ܘܠܐ ܝܠܝܕܘܬܐ. ܘܓܢܛܘܢ̣ ܗܘ ܗܟܢ ܒܬܠ̈ܬܐ ܟܘ̈ܢܝܐ. ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܬܠܬ̈ܐ ܣܘ̈ܟܠܐ. ܝܠܝܕܐ. ܘܒ̣ܪܝܐ ܘܝܠܝܕܘܬܐ. ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܡܫ̇ܐܠ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܐܝܟܢ ܐ̇ܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܝܠܝܕܐܘܝܠܝܕܐܐܝܟ ܙܦܠܢܘܢܦܠܢܘܐܝܟ ܙܦܠܢ.
