Title: ܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܥܐ̈ܕܢܝܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܬܢܣܝܘܣ
Notes:
- These letters were printed by Dr. Cureton in the order of their discovery, Cureton, London, 1848 ; and re-edited, in correct sequence and with a Latin translation, by Cardinal Mai in his Nova Patrum Bibliotheca, tom. vi. (see also Migne, Patrol. Cursus Complet., Ser. Graeca, t. ii.col. 1339, etc.). They were translated into German by Dr. Larsow, Leipzig, 1852 ; and into English by Dr. Burgess, in Dr. Pusey's Library of Fathers of the Holy Catholic Church, 1854 , where the two leaves (foll. 41 and 48) are printed, which were added to the manuscript since the appearance of the Curetonian text.
- Of the letters only twenty remain, the last of which is imperfect.
Additions
Addition 1 (Fol. 1a):
On fol. 1 a there is written in large, open characters, a note stating that the book
belonged to the convent of S. Mary Deipara:
.ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܝܣ ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܨ̇ܠ̣ܐ ܥܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ
Addition 2 (Fol. 1b):
From a note on the margin of fol. 1 b it appears that a history of the blessed Virgin
and a life of Simeon Stylites (Add. 14,484
?) were at one time bound with these letters.
.ܘܬܘܒ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܝ̇ܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ. ܘܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܐܣܛܘܼܢܐ
Addition 3 (Fol. 1b):
On the same page a poor monk named Jacob has recorded his inability to understand the introduction in these words:
.܀ܐܓܪܬܐ ܕܐܬܢܣܝܘܣ ܀ ܐܢܐ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܩ̇ܪܝܬ ܠܗܕܐ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܘܢ ܐ̇ܡܪܐ ܫܒܘܩ ܠܝ
