Wright's Subject Classification:
This manuscript contains: Jacob of Batnae. Metrical discourses of Jacob of Batnae. In total, including sub-sections, this manuscript contains 7 items.

Physical Description

Vellum, about 6 7/8 in. by 4 7/8, consisting of 47 leaves (Add. 14,634, foll. 3—49), some of which are slightly stained and soiled, especially foll. 6, 7, 16, 17, and 49. The quires are signed with letters, from ܝܗ (fol. 7) to ܝܛ (fol. 41). Many leaves are wanting both at the beginning and end, and there is a lacuna after fol. 23. There are from 21 to 28 lines in each page.

Hand 1 (major, Unspecified Syriac script): This manuscript is written in a good, clear hand of the ixth cent. The letter ܘ when initial, is often disproportionately large in comparison with the other letters. On fol. 3a, in the subscription of the first discourse, we find the date A. Gr 999, A.D. 688; but the scribe seems to have copied this, perhaps inadvertently, from the manuscript that lay before him.
