    This manuscript contains 1 item(s). N.B. Items were re-numbered for this online catalog and may not reflect William Wright's previous numeration.

    Item 1 (Fol. 1): A Commentary on the Revelation of S. John, divided into 72 chapters [defective]

    Notes:
    • Chapter 1 is wanting, and chapters 2, 52, and 53, are imperfect.

    • The text of each chapter is quoted in full, and agrees closely with that of Lee's edition . The commentary, notwithstanding the coincidence in the number of chapters, has but little in common with that of Andrew and Arethas, as edited, for example, in the Parisian edition of Ecumenius (1630—31, t. ii., pp. 610, seqq.) , or in Cramer's Catena in Epistolas Catholicas etc., Oxon. 1810, pp. 177, seqq . Chapter 3 may serve as a specimen:

    • We have already met with these works in Add. 14,490 .

    • The traces of the running titles and are still visible, for example, on foll. 23 b, 26 b, 32 b, 61 b, 64 b, 86 b, and 88 b. Those on foll. 21 b and 62 b are different. The latter consists of a single word, ending with the letters ܬܐ; the former seems to be,
