Physical Description

Vellum, about 12 in. by 9 1/2, consisting of 61 leaves, some of which are slightly stained and torn, especially foll. 37 and 61. The quires are signed with letters (ܚ, fol. 38 a; ܛ, fol. 48 a), but their number is uncertain, owing to the defective state of the volume. Leaves are wanting at the beginning and end, as well as after foll. 37, 49, and 51. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 27 to 33 lines. See no. LXXIV , with which a portion of this manuscript has been bound, viz. Add. 14,452, foll. 1-22 .

Hand 1 (major, Estrangela script): This volume is written in a fine, regular Estrangela of the viiith cent.
Hand 2 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): Foll. 9—18 may be of the xth cent.
Hand 3 (minor, Unspecified Syriac script): Numerous Syriac vowels and diacritical marks have been added by a still later hand.
