Manuscript Contents

Note: Item numbering updated in digital edition.
Item 1 (Fol. 1a): Cyril of Alexandria. Works of Cyril of Alexandria
Note: These two quires were at one time used to make good the defect in Add. 17,149, after fol. 63 . This appears from the words ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ, the one of which is written in Add. 17,149, on the lower margin of fol. 63 b , and the other here in Add. 17,150, on the lower margin of fol. 1a . Hence, too, the erasure of the last two lines in Add. 17,149, fol. 63 b .
Item 2 (Fol. 1a): Cyril of Alexandria. The latter portion of the ninth dialogue against Hermias, entitled "Quod unus sit Christus"
  Subscription (Fol. 17a): ܫܠ̣ܡ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܥܠ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܚܕ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ
Note: The text corresponds to the passage ἔνα δὲ καὶ τὸν αὐτὸν ὄντα γινώσκων, καὶ ἐκ Θεοῦ πατρὸς λόγον, κ.τ.λ. to the end of the work in Opera, ed. Aubert, t. v., pars 1, p. 752 E.
Item 3 (Fol. 17): Cyril of Alexandria. The "Explanatio xii. Capitum"
 
Title:
ܬܘܒ ܪ̈ܫܝܐ ܬܪ̈ܥܣܪ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܩܘܪܝܠܘܣ̣ ܘܦܘܫܩܗܘܢ
Note: The text corresponds to the beginning of Opera, ed. Aubert, t. vi., p. 146 to the sixth anathema, Opera, ed. Aubert, t. vi., p. 152 C. See additions.

Additions

Addition 1 (Fol. 18a): On the margin of fol. 18a, we find the following note, referring to Cyril's principal opponents,Andrew of Samosata, Alexander of Mabūg, and Theodoret of Cyrus. ܐܬܥܕܠܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܩ̈ܦܠܐܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܩܡܘ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܩܘܪܝܠܘܣ̣. ܐܢܕܪܐܐ ܕܫܡܝܫܛ ܘܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܕܡܒܘܓ. ܘܬܐܕܘܪܝܛܐ ܕܩܘܪܘܣ. ܘܠܗܢܐ ܣܘܢܗܕܘܣ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܒܟܠܩܝܕܘܢܐ̣. ܐܪܬܕܘܟܣܐ ܬܚܡܬ. ܘܐܡܪܐ̣. ܕܡܩܒܠܐ ܠܩܘܪܝܠܘܣ ܗ̇ܘܕܠܩܒܠܗܐܟܬܒ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܬܐܕܘܪܝܛܐ ܒܥ̈ܘܕܠܐ ܕܩ̈ܦܠܐܐ ܗܠܝܢ.
