Notes
The colophon by the scribe Abraham, a priest, gives the date and says the ms. was donated to the church in Ḥesn Kif. The hand looks different from that of the ms., however., Written in a good bold serto hand, in black and red, 18 lines per page. The leaves are stained and worn at the foredge and corners. The ms. is a fragment. According to the colophon the whole volume also included the service of baptism and processions on dominical feasts., In a western cloth binding., In a tray case, 29 cm., References: Titterton, Syriac manuscripts in the Semitic Museum, 72., References: Goshen-Gottstein, 55.
