title: The Hymns ܡ̈ܥܢܝܬܐ of Severus, patriarch of Antioch, John bar Aphtūnāyā ('Αφθόνιος), abbat of Kinnesrīn, John (Psaltes or Calligraphus), abbat of Kinnesrīn, and other writers; translated from the Greek into Syriac by Paul, bishop of Edessa, when he was residing in the island of Cyprus (see below); and revised and corrected by Jacob, in the year above mentioned
rubric: ܡ̈ܥܢܝܬܐ
Translated from the Greek into Syriac by Paul, bishop of Edessa, when he was residing in the island of Cyprus; and revised and corrected by Jacob, in the year above mentioned.
The reasons for supposing that this manuscript is an autograph of the famous Jacob, bishop of Edessa, are— 1. The antiquity of the volume. 2. The character of the handwriting, which is not regular enough for that of a professional scribe. 3. The absence of any indication of another scribe. 4. The care with which the specifications contained in the note,fol. 75 a, have been adhered to throughout the whole volume, thus giving it an entirely different character and appearance from those of such copies as Add. 18,816 [...] . Hymn 271 (ܪܥܐ), fol. 61 b, may serve as an example, a line marking the words and letters which are written with red paint. The title, as far as ܘܠܠܝܐ, is yellow.ܐܚܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܪ̈ܝܐ ܟܕ ܦܢ̣ܐ ܡܢ ܣܥܘܪܘܬܐ ܕܕܝܪ̈ܬܐ. ܗ̈ܘܝ ܕܡ̈ܥܝ ܠܝ ܠܚ̣̇ܡܐ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܠܠܝܐ. ܐܡܬܝ(ܕܐܣ̇ܒ) ܕܢ̇ܣܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܗܘܢܐ: ܠܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܕܘܒܪܐ (ܕܝܪܝܐ) ܢܙܝܪܐ ܡܬܥ̇ܢܘܝܢ (ܘܡܟܪܟܝܢ ܒܦܓܪܐ) ܘܫܩ̣ܝܠܝܢ ܒܦܓܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܝܬܘܬܐ ܡܥ̣ܒܕܬ݁ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐ܏ܠܗܐ ܡ܏ܠܬܐ ܏ܕܐ̇ܬܒܣܪ: ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܠܠܝܐ. ܡܬ݁ܗܓܝܢ ܏ܐܡ̣ܝܢܐܝܬ ܘ܏ܥ̇ܢ̣ܝܢ ܒܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ: ܘܡ̇ܒ̣ܥܝܢ ܏ܐܝܟ ܏ܡ̈ܥܝܢܐ ܏ܠܬܫ̈ܒܚܬܐ ܘ̄ܕ̈ܘܡܪܐ ܚ̈ܠܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ (ܒܓܓܪܬܗܘܢ) ܒܓܓܪ̈ܬܗܘܢ: ܐ̇ܠܐ ܐ̣ܢܐ ܠܚ̈ܝ ܕ܏ܘ̈ܝܐ܇ (ܟܕ) ܕܚ̇ܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥ̣ܬܩܘ ܏ܘܓܡ̣ܪܘ ܒܥ̈ܡܠܐ ܣܪ̈ܝܩܐ ܕ܏ܠܐ ܝ܏ܘܬܪܢ. ܘܥܡ ܏ܚ̣ܫܐ (ܕܘ̈ܘܢܐ) ܘ̄ܟܐܒܐ ܕܠ܏ܒܐ ܡ̇ܙܥ̣ܩ ܐ̣ܢܐ̣. ܕ̄ܡ̣ܢܘ ܢܬ݁ܠ ܠܪܝܫ ܡ̈ܝܐ܇ ܐܦ ܡܒܘܥܐ ܫ܏ܦ̣ܝܥܐ ܕܡ̈ܥܐ ܠܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ. ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܕ ܏ܒܡܪܓܫܢܘܬܐ ܏ܐܘܟܝܬ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܒܝ̈ܫܬܝ ܏ܗ̇ܘܐ ܐ̣܏ܢܐ ܐܪܟ̇ܢ ܏ܠܘܬܝ ܗ̇ܘ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܒܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܣ̇ܓܝ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܘ̄ܐܫ̣ܬܘܐ ܠܚܘ̈ܣܢܘܗܝ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ. 5. The transcription in full, on the upper and lower margins, of all the passages of Scripture referred to in the hymns. 6. The general accuracy with which the Greek proper names and other words are written in Greek letters; and the correctness with which they are represented in Syriac characters. Such mistakes as ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟⲤ, ܒܝܡܐ ܕܛܝܒܐܪܝܘܣ (fol. 19 a), are rare.

  On fol. 75 a there is a long note, in which the writer of the manuscript, Jacob,—who styles himself φιλόπονος, ܪܚ̇ܡ ܥܡ̣ܠܐ (compare Add. 14,685),—states that these hymns of Severus, John bar Aphtūnāyā, John Psaltes, and others,—in all 365, of which 295 are by Severus,—were translated from Greek into the Edessene or Syriac tongue, by Paul, bishop of Edessa whilst residing in Cyprus, whither he had been driven by the Persians; and revised and corrected, with the help of Greek manuscripts, by himself,Jacob, in the year of the Greeks 986 (A.D. 675), according to the era of Seleucus Nicator, king of Syria. He then goes on to say that he has distinguished carefully between the words of the author, and those which were added by the translator for the sake of the rhythm, writing the former with common (black) ink, the latter with red paint. Wherever the translator deviated at all from the original, for the same reason, he has inserted a more literal rendering in small, neat characters between the lines.
  Assemani, Bibl. Or., t. ii. p. 47, supposes the translator to have been Paul of Callinicus. There seems to be some confusion here. Paul, bishop of Callinicus, who translated the homilies and several other works of Severus, at Edessa, flourished about A.D. 500-530. His contemporary, Paul, bishop of Edessa, was ordained, according to Assemani ( Bibl. Or., t. i. p. 407), A. Gr. 821, A.D. 510; exiled to Euchaita (p. 411), A. Gr. 833, A.D. 522; restored to his bishopric (p. 413), A. Gr. 837, A.D. 526; and died in the following year. Lastly, the abbat Paul, the translator of Gregory Nazianzen, was in Cyprus, A.D. 624. Compare Bibl. Or., t. i. pp. 171, 172, and Add. 12,153, fol. 1 b.
  He might have added that he has transcribed all the passages of Scripture, to which reference is made in the hymns, in full, on the upper and lower margins; and likewise given the Greek form of most of the proper names that occur; as also, that the titles of all the hymns are written with yellow paint.
  The following continue, still in the same handwriting.

  These last two pieces may perhaps have been written by a different hand.

Vellum, about 10 1/2 in. by 7 1/4, consisting of 85 leaves, some of which are much stained and slightly torn, especially foll. 11, 13, 20, 22, 29, 62, and 85. The quires, signed with letters, are nine in number. Single leaves are wanting after foll. 5 and 11, and there is a lacuna after fol. 82. The number of lines in each page is very variable, owing to the annotations at the top and bottom; but a full page has from 35 to 44.

This manuscript is written on rather badly prepared vellum.

85 ff. 10 1/2 × 7 1/4

This manuscript is written on rather badly prepared vellum, in a good, though by no means elegant hand; and is not improbably an autograph of the famous Jacob, bishop of Edessa. It is dated A. Gr. 986, A.D. 675. He then goes on to say that he has distinguished carefully between the words of the author, and those which were added by the translator for the sake of the rhythm, writing the former with common (black) ink, the latter with red paint. Wherever the translator deviated at all from the original, for the same reason, he has inserted a more literal rendering in small, neat characters between the lines. He might have added that he has transcribed all the passages of Scripture, to which reference is made in the hymns, in full, on the upper and lower margins; and likewise given the Greek form of most of the proper names that occur; as also, that the titles of all the hymns are written with yellow paint.

These last two pieces may perhaps have been written by a different hand.

The deed is in Arabic, in the handwriting of Sa'id ibn 'Obaid-allāh, % , but the signatures of the witnesses are in Syriac. This document, being wholly unpointed and carelessly written, is very difficult to decipher.

There is another deed of sale of a nut-tree, by the monk Emmanuel of the convent of ܕܝܪ ܥܠܝܬܐ, (% ) to one Jonah bar Zechariah, in the year of the Hijra 442, A.D. 1050-51.
