Additions
N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1:
This volume was apparently intended to be used as a Choir-book, for the letters
ܐ and ܒ on
the margins seem to designate the divisions of the choir.
Addition 2 (Fol. 136a):
On fol. 136 a there is a note, informing us that it was written in the year
1603, A.D. 1292, by one
John, for the convent of S. Mary Deipara in the desert of Scete.

Addition 3 (Fol. 136b):
On fol. 136 b there are two notes, the older of which was written by an
oriental monk from the convent of
Mār Gabriel at Beth-Severīnā in
Tūr-ʾAbdīn, who
repaired and re-bound the volume in the year 1803, A.D. 1492.

Addition 4 (Fol. 136b):
The other note was written by the deacon Manṣūr bar Abraham
Arīkā (or “the tall”), in the convent of S. Mary Deipara,
in the year 1850, A.D. 1539.

Addition 5 (Fol. 1a):
On fol. 1 a there is a note, written in Karshūnī, by a person who dusted,
counted, and arranged the books belonging to the convent of S. Mary Deipara,
in the year 1935, A.D. 1624. The library then
consisted of 403 volumes. If the writing on the margin be by the same hand, the
name of this person was Thomas, a priest, from the town of
Māridīn.
