Five quires (quires 5-9) of a miscellany produced in a monastic context containing Christian prayers, recipes for incenses, calendrical, astronomical, astrological, agricultural, medical and weather lore along with information about Christian feast days.
Contents:
1) Fragment of a Christian prayer (f. 18r-18v [37r-37v Coptic foliation], defective at beginning);
2)
Duʿā mustakhraj min Kitāb Dāwūd al-nabī
(دعا مستخرج من كتاب داود النبي, ff. 18v-22r [37v-41r Coptic foliation]);
3)
Duʿā allafahu ba‘ḍ al-mu’minīn al-muḥiqqīn min al-Naṣārá
(دعا ألفه بعض المؤمنين المحقين من النصارى, ff. 22r-28v [41r-47v Coptic foliation]);
4) Three recipes for incense (ff. 28v-30v [47v-49v Coptic foliation]);
5)
Kitāb al-azminah
(كتاب الأزمنة, ff. 30v-33v, 11r-16v, 3r-10v, 17r-17v, 1r and 1v [49v-70v Coptic foliation, with two folios missing: 56 and 57]);
6) Astrological treatise (ff. 1v-2v [70v-71v Coptic foliation], defective at end).
The folios of the manuscript have been bound out of order, but an earlier foliation in Coptic numerals suggests a different running order as well as the placement of two missing folios. The Coptic foliation begins at 37 (f. 18r) and finishes at 71 (f. 2r), which indicates that 36 folios are wanting from the beginning of the manuscript. The manuscript is defective at the end, since the text at the end of f. 2r breaks off mid-flow.
Quire
Collection of papers folded in half and stitched together to form a gathering of folios.
signatures show that the surviving portion of the manuscript comprises 5 quaternions (quires 5-9).
The running order of the folios and placement of missing folios suggested by the Coptic foliation is as follows:
ff. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 11, 12, 13, [2 folios missing here], 14, 15, 16, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 17, 1 and 2.

nine is missing the last five folios. The fact that the quires marked seven and eight in the Greek signatures are marked eight and seven respectively in the Georgian signatures appears to be an error in the Georgian signature and not an indication that the quires were bound in reverse order.
