[This manuscript contains: The Psalms, according to the Peshitta version. In total, including sub-sections, this manuscript contains 1 item.]

Syriac

title: The Psalms, according to the Peshitta version
The missing Portions are: Ps. i. 1—xiii. 7; lxxiii. 7— lxxiv. 2; civ. 24—cvi. 42 (fol. 88 being almost completely torn out); and cxviii. 1 to the end (foll. 97—101 being much mutilated).
Divided into ܡܪ̈ܡܝܬܐ

Paper, about 5 ½ in. by 3 ½, consisting, according to the present numeration, of 101, but in reality of only 75 leaves, most of which are much stained by water and torn, more especially foll. 1—11, and 80—101. The volume is very defective, both at the beginning and end, and a leaf is wanting after fol. 59. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 16 to 20 lines.[^1]

[^1: The difference is owing to the insertion of slips of paper, on which such portions of the text as had become illegible were copied out by a later hand. These slips were originally pasted down upon the leaves, but have now become loosened, and are numbered as separate folios.]

75 ff.

- Paper, about 5 ½ in. by 3 ½, consisting, according to the present numeration, of 101, but in reality of only 75 leaves, most of which are much stained by water and torn, more especially foll. 1—11, and 80—101. The volume is very defective, both at the beginning and end, and a leaf is wanting after fol. 59. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 16 to 20 lines.[^2]

[^2: The difference is owing to the insertion of slips of paper, on which such portions of the text as had become illegible were copied out by a later hand. These slips were originally pasted down upon the leaves, but have now become loosened, and are numbered as separate folios.]

The writing is small and neat, of about the xiiith cent.

Foll. 14—47 and 60—69 are of somewhat later date.

The inserted slips are of a still later date.

See additions.

In the older portions of the manuscript there are some attempts at the ornamentation ; see fol. 79 b, etc.

[N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.]

- On fol. 47 b there are recorded the names of two readers, John and Jacob, the former in Syriac, the latter in Arabic.
