Description:
338 leaves, bound: vellum.
Manuscript Page Contents with page numbers for the PDF:
Ornamental cross & On the genealogies of Jesus in Matt. and Luke, by Theodore of Mopsuestia, with a diagram. (pg.5)
Matthew (pg. 6-47)
Mark (pg. 48-75)

On the lives and deaths of the twelve and seventy apostles, by Eusebius of Caesarea (pg. 338-340)
Two Ornamental Crosses (pg. 341-342)
Notes: A leaf is missing after pg. 334. Missing text of Hebrews 11:29 from the ninth word to 12:7 to the 2nd word of the verse. As far as I know this is the only missing part of the New Testament, though the Ms is smudged on a number of pages, obscuring some of the words.
It is written in a fine estrangela hand with Eastern vowels, in single column, 26-28 lines per page.
Rubrics, subscriptions, and other occasional ornaments are in red and green. Sections of the text are numbered in the margins using the usual double sequence. Lections are not marked.
A later hand has added glosses and other unidentified words in small writing in the margins.
Date from colophon gives the date 1511 AG (1199-1200 A.D.) and the hijra date 594 (1198-1199 A.D.) The colophon also gives the scribe?s name as Boktisho' and the place of writing being the Monastery of Rabban Sabriso' in the mountains of Qardu.
There are notes in English, translating various rubrics throughout the ms.
Presented by The Church of the East Patriarch Mar Shimon XVII Abraham to the Presbyterian Missionary Dr. Asahel Grant, and by him to the Library of the A.B.C.F. Missions. Oriental binding in full leather over walnut boards, fastened with a leather strap.
