- Paper, about 10 ¼ in. by 6 7/8, consisting of 80 leaves, some of which are much stained and slightly torn, especially foll. 1 and 71—80. The quires, signed with letters, were originally nine in number, of which the last is wanting, and the first is imperfect, a leaf being lost at the beginning. Each page is divided into two columns, of 23 lines.

The writing is a good, regular, Nestorian Estrangela of the xiith or xiiith cent., with numerous Syriac vowels and other marks

See additions.

There are a few attempts at ornamentation; e.g. foll. 27 a, 28 a, 45 b, and 49 a.

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

- Coptic numerals are sometimes used by the scribe, either alone or in connection with Arabic ones, to number the leaves, e.g. foll. 23-42, or the lessons, e.g. foll. 37 a, 59 a, 65 a and b, 66 b, 67 b, 68 a, 69 b, and 73 a.

12th or 13th century
