Additions
Addition 1 (Fol. 1a):
The ܡܪ̈ܡܝܬܐ and ܫܘ̈ܒܚܐ are marked by a later hand on the margins.
Addition 2 (Fol. 1a):
The Psalms and the first three Canticles have been arranged for part-singing in
the choir, by means of the red letters ܐ
and ܒ inserted between the lines.
Addition 3 (Fol. 64b):
This division, as well as that into ܫܘܒ̈ܚܐ
and ܡܪ̈ܡܝܬܐ seems to have been made, some
time after the manuscript was written, by a monk named Jacob; for, on the margin
of fol. 64 b, there is a note, now much effaced and torn, which begins:
...ܝܥܩܘܒ ܚ̇ܛܝܐ ܦܪܫܗ ܟܬܦܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܐ ܘܐܚܪܝܐ ܒ ܟܕ ܟܠ ܡܪܡܝܬܐ
"the sinner Jacob divided it (viz.
this psalter) into a first part (ܐ) and a second part (ܒ), each marmīthā..."
