Physical Description
Vellum, about 12 3/8 in. by 9 5/8, consisting of 49 leaves, all of which are more or less stained with oil, and some of them much torn, especially foll. 1, 12, 13, and 41—44. The original signatures of the quires are no longer apparent. The volume is imperfect both at the beginning and the end. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 40 to 48 lines.
Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script):
It is written in a small, regular, elegant Esṭrangělā, probably of the vth cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script):
Whether fol. 49 really belongs to this volume is doubtful; it is so much stained and
soiled, that the writing upon it is no longer legible.
