Physical Description
Vellum, about 11 3/4 in. by 9, consisting of 144 leaves, some of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1, 132—137, and 144. The quires, signed with both Greek (Coptic) and Syriac letters, were originally 21 in number, but of the first three only a single leaf remains, and there are lacunae of greater or less extent after foll. 20, 60, 131, 134, 135, 137, 143, and 144. From the commencement as far as fol. 121, the pages are numbered by the hand of the scribe, the verso of each leaf being marked with its appropriate letter or letters. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 29 to 34 lines.
Hand 1 (sole, Unspecified Syriac script):
This volume is written in a good, regular hand of about the xth cent.
Decoration (Ornamentation):
This manuscript is remarkable for the ornaments and illuminations at the commencement of each discourse as well as at the top of the first and last leaves of each quire. They are executed in the Coptic style, so that the manuscript must be of Egyptian origin, and was probably written in the Nitrian desert.
