Add. 14,665

Seven vellum leaves, all more or less stained and torn, with from 34 to 37 lines in each page. These leaves are palimpsest. See the lower text of foll. 1, 2, 5-7; the lower text of fol. 3 and its more ancient upper text; and the lower text of fol. 4.

Foll.1, 2, and 5—7 are fragments of a Greek manuscript, written in double columns, with 21 lines on each page. Fol. 1 is a very small fragment, on which only a few letters are visible. The the greater part of the outer columns of fol. 2 has been torn away. Fol. 5 is now much torn. Foll. 6 and 7 are small fragments, on which scarcely any of the original writing is legible. These leaves are palimpsest; cf. the upper text.

Across the uncials on fol. 3 there is Greek writing in two columns. It is so faded as to be almost illegible.

These leaves are palimpsest; cf. the more recent upper text and the lower text.

Fol. 3 is a leaf from a Greek manuscript, written in double columns, with 28 lines in each page.

These leaves are palimpsest; cf. the more recent upper text and the more ancient upper text.

Fol. 4 is a leaf from a Greek manuscript, written in double columns, with 19 lines on each page.

These leaves are palimpsest; cf. the upper text.

Two palimpsest leaves, much mutilated; cf. the lower text.

Two palimpsest leaves, much mutilated; cf. the upper text. From a Greek manuscript. A portion of the first leaf is not rewritten.

Eleven vellum leaves, all more or less stained and torn. The leaves of the lower text were folded so as to form a volume measuring about 8 3/4 in. by 5 1/2.

Eleven vellum leaves, all more or less stained and torn, but apparently belonging to the same Coptic manuscript (Add. 14,665, foll. 10—20). Foll. 17—19 are the best preserved, and measure about 11 in. by 8 3/4. The text is written in two columns, of from 33 to 39 lines. Foll. 10—16 are so mutilated, and the ancient writing is so much obliterated, that it is difficult to say, without employing chemical reagents, what portions of Scripture they comprise. Fol. 20 is made up of eight disconnected fragments, merely put together in order to preserve them. This manuscript is palimpsest; cf. the upper text.

Four vellum leaves, about 11 1/4 in. by 8 3/4, much stained and mutilated, and all palimpsest; cf. the lower text.

Four vellum leaves, about 11 1/4 in. by 8 3/4, much stained and mutilated, written in two columns of 26 or 27 lines. All palimpsest; cf. the upper text.

A vellum leaf, much stained and mutilated. It is palimpsest, but rewritten on one side only. The more recent text seems to be part of the same manuscript as the preceding number. The older text, apparently of the xth cent., is too much effaced to be legible.

Two vellum leaves, about 6 3/8 in. by 5 1/8, slightly stained and soiled. They are palimpsest; cf. the lower text.

Two vellum leaves, about 6 3/8 in. by 5 1/8, slightly stained and soiled. They are palimpsest; cf. the upper text.

The upper half of a vellum leaf, which formed part of the same manuscript as Add. 17,217, , fol: foll. 37 and 38.. It can therefore only be deciphered with difficulty.
