In Dr. Payne Smith’s Catalogue of the Syriac MSS. In the Bodleian Library, col. 431, no. 3, this discourse is ascribed to Ananias Xenaias, or Ignatius XI, patriarch of the Jacobites , A.D. 1484-1493 (see Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii., pp. 386, 468); but the present mauscript seems to belong to the previous century.
