Physical Description

Vellum, about 9 5/8 in. by 7, consisting of 92 leaves, a few of which are much stained and torn, especially foll. 1, 2, 10, 82, and 84. The quires, signed with letters, are 9 in number. A leaf is wanting after fol. 82, and nearly the whole of fol. 1 has been torn away. There are from 26 to 33 lines in each page. This volume is palimpsest throughout (see Add. 17,127, lower text ).

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): This volume is written in a rather inelegant Estrangělā, and dated A. Gr. 1399, A.D. 1088.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Arabic script): See additions.

Contents

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]
  Subscription (Fol. 92a): ܫܠܡ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܩܦܠܐܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܥܝܢ ܘܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܣܐ: ܕܡܦ݁ܫ̣ܩ ܘܟܬܝ̣ܒ ܘܡܟ݁ܢ̣ܫ ܒܡܢܗ̇ܪܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܚ̇ܝ̣ܠܐ ܘܒܡܥܕܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ: ܡܢ ܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܐܠܗ̈ܝܐ ܘܪ̈ܘܚܢܝܐ ܕܥܬ݀ܝܩܬܐ ܘܕܚ̣ܕܬܐ ܕܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܚܐ ܩ̈ܕܝܫܐ: ܕܨ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܢܥ̣ܕܪܘܢ ܠܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܝ̈ܠܕܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܝ̈ܠܕܐ ܪ̈ܚܝܡܐ ܕܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ: ܨܠܘܬܝ ܥܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܣܛܪ܀
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 Leo'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.

Additions

N.B., items below may have been listed out of folio order in Wright's catalogue.
Addition 1 (Fol. 92b): On fol. 92 b there is a note, from which we learn that the manuscript was written and bound, in the year 1399, A.D. 1088, by the same Samuel bar Cyriacus, who wrote Add. 14,490 . ܫܩܠ ܣܟܐ ܘܐܫܬܡܠܝ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܕܡ̇ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ. ܫܢܬ. ܐܠܦ ܏ܘܫܨܘܛ. ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ. ܒܝܘܡ ܚܡܫܐ ܒܫܒܐ ܒܬܪ̈ܥܣܪ ܒܐܕܪ ܝܪܚܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ. ܐܬܟܬܒ ܘܐܬܕܒܩ. ܒܐܝ̣̈ܕܝ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܒܨܝܪܐ. ܘܒܫܡܐ ܠܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܐܣܛܘܢܪܐ ܒܓܙܪܬܐ. ܕܩܠܝܡܐ ܕܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܝܐ ܘܕܡܨܪܝܢ. ܘܡܬܝܕܥ ܒܪ ܩܘܪܝܩܘܣ. ܒܪ ܐܒܪܗܡ. ܒܪ ܐܠܝܫܥ. ܡ̈ܢܚܐ. ܟܬܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܗܘܓܝܐ ܘܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ. ܘܕܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܦܓܥ ܒܗ ܘܩܪܐ ܘܡܬܒ̇ܣܡ ܡܢܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܦܠܝܓܬܐ. ܩܢܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܥܡܠܐ ܕܐܝ̣̈ܕܘܗܝ. ܘܡܢ ܕܘܥܬܐ ܕܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ. ܏ܘܫ.

Notes:
  • 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,
