Physical Description
Paper, about 5 ¼ in. by 3 3/4, consisting of 258 leaves, most of which are more or less stained and torn, especially foll. 1—10, 181, and 203—258. The quires are now 25 in number. They are signed with letters, at the top of the page, from ܐ to ܝܙ and from ܝܙ to ܝܢ (sic, fol. 253 a). Leaves are wanting at the beginning and end, as well as after foll. 80, 122, 155, 163, and 257.
Hand 1 (sole, Melkite Syriac script):
This volume is written in an inelegant hand of the xiiith or xivth cent., inclining to the Malkite type.
Manuscript Contents
Note: Item numbering updated in digital edition.
Item 1 (Fol. 1a): The Psalms, according to the Pěshiṭtā version [defective]
Notes:
- Divided into καθίσματα, each κἁθισμα (ܩܬܝܣܡܐ) being subdivided into ܫܘܒ̈ܚܐ. (marked ܫܘ).
- Ps. cxviii. is in three parts, to each of which other hymns and prayers are appended; see foll. 189 b, 198 a, and 205 b.
- The missing portions are: Ps. i. 1—5, xxxviii. 15—xxxix. 7, lxvi. 7—Ixviii. 22, xc. 14—xcii. 15, ciii. 8.—cv. 4, cxlv. 6— cxlix. 1, and cxlix. 7 to the end.
- On fol. 146 a the scribe has passed at once from Ps. Ixxxii. 6 to Ps. Ixxxiii. 4, doubtless owing to a defect in the manuscript which he was copying.
Item 2 (Fol. 189b): Hymns and Prayers 1
Note: Appended to a the first part of Ps. cxviii
Item 3 (Fol. 198a): Hymns and Prayers 2
