Physical Description

Vellum, about 10 in. by 6 1/2, consisting of 123 leaves, a few of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1, 3 and 122. The quires are 14 in number, but several of them are imperfect, leaves being missing at the beginning, as well as after foll. 1, 9, 14, 15, 18, 53 and 69. They were originally signed with both letters and arithmetical figures (e.g. fol. 47, ܙ; fol. 56, ܚ), but a later hand has marked them with letters only. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 32 to 36 lines.

Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.
Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.
