Jacob of Batnae. The older portion of the manuscript, metrical homilies of Jacob of Batnae

Physical Description

Vellum, about 10 in. by 6 1/2, consisting of 230 leaves, some of which are much stained (e.g. foll. 186 and 187) and not a few more or less torn (e.g. foll. 10, 19, 36, 56, 57, 65—68, 126, 141, 171, 185—188). The quires, signed with letters, are 26 in number, but nearly the whole of ܛ and ܝ has been lost, and several of the others are imperfect. Leaves are wanting after foll. 26, 27, 57, 61, 64, 70, 72, 73, 184, and 185. Each page is divided into two columns, containing, in the older part of the manuscript, from 31 to 36 lines.

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): The greater part of the volume, from fol. 2 b to fol. 216 a (with the exception of foll. 214 and 215), is written in a small, regular Estrangělā of the viith cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions. On fol. 60 b a more modern hand has marked a division by four large dots % and the word ܫܠܡ on the margin.

Additions

N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 2a): A note on fol. 2 a, now much effaced, in a current hand of about the ixth cent., states that the volume was presented by certain persons unnamed to the convent of S. Mary Deipara. ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܗ̣ܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܠܢ. ܝܕܥ ܠܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ. ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ. ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܐ ܕܒܡܨܪܝܢ
Addition 2 (Fol. 1a): Another note of not much later date, on fol. 1 a, records the fact of its belonging to the convent.
Addition 3 (Fol. 1a): The manuscript must, however, have been purloined soon after, since we learn from a second note on fol. 1 a that it was restored by one Melchizedek, who had got it as a present from the monk Jacob of Samosata. ܐܬܚܦܛ ܘܩܢܐ ܣܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܢܝܬܐ ܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ. ܐܫܬܟܢ ܠܗ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܡܢ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܕܝܪܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܫܛ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܫܟܢܗ ܠܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ. ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗ (sic) ܕܦܓܥ ܒܗ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܚܣܐ ܚܘܒ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ.
Addition 4 (Fol. 216a): Lastly, there is a note on fol. 216 a, seemingly of the same date as that immediately preceding, which states that the book belonged to the convent of S. Mary Deipara. ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܕܝܪܝܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܝܛܐ. ܟܠ ܕܐܟܐܡ (sic) ܥܠ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܫܢܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܪܐ ܗܕܐ. ܐܘ ܠܚܐ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܚܪܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ. ܘܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܡܝܢ.
