Physical Description

About the end of the xth cent., the leaves of the lower text were destroyed by a Syrian monk, who folded them so as to form a volume, at present consisting of 42 leaves, or five quires, signed partly with letters and partly with arithmetical figures, of which the first is now incomplete. Foll. 19 and 20 of the lower text served as fly-leaves to the manuscript in its later form.
