Physical Description

Vellum, about 12 7/8 in. by 9 3/4, consisting of 211 leaves, a few of which are stained and torn, especially foll. 1, 11, 120, 210, and 211. The quires are 24 in number, but only one leaf now remains of the first, and two leaves of the third. They were originally signed with both letters and arithmetical figures (e.g. foll. 14 a,ܕ; 24 a, ܗ; 50a, ܚ; 60a, ܛ; 100a, ܝܓ; 140 a, ܝܙ; 158 a, ܝܛ; 178 a, ܟܐ), but have since been incorrectly re-numbered with letters only. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 19 to 24 lines.

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): The writing is a large, regular Esṭrangĕlā of the 6th or 7th century.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): Of the 9th century. See additions.
Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.
Hand 4 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): See additions.

Additions

N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.
Addition 1: The quires have since been incorrectly re-numbered with letters only.
Addition 2 (Fol. 211): Fol. 211 is written by a hand of the 9th century, and was probably added by the same person who retouched many portions of the older text.
Addition 3: Other lessons have been noted by different hands on the margins.
Addition 4 (Fol. 211a): On fol. 211 a, after the doxology, there stands a note, informing us that the manuscript belonged to the convent of S. Mary Deipara in the desert of Scete. ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ .. ܕܕܝܪܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܕܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܕܗ̣ܘ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܣܩ̈ܛܝܣ ܕܝܪܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܥܠ ܫܡܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܝܠܕܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܒܨ̈ܠܘܗ̇ ܩܕܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܢܫܟ݁ܢ ܠܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܘܚܢܢܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܓܠܝܢܘܬܗ ܫܒܝܚܬܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܣܒܪܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܣܛܝܢܐ. ܏ܘܫ
