| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary This manuscript contains a Jacobite (syro-orthodox) Rite lectionary, which is missing its beginning and presents several internal lacunae (f. 8v, 14v, and 96v). It ends with a rubricated explicit arranged in an inverted pyramid, without indication of place, date, or the name of the copyist (f. 102v). The leaves that follow (ff. 103r-105v), written in a second, contemporary hand, include rituals, such as the office of the blessing of the water that is held on the vigil of Epiphany (f. 103r-v). It dates from the end of the twelfth or the thirteenth century (cf. W.H.P. Hatch, An Album of Dated Syriac Manuscripts, Boston, 1946, pl. LXXXVIII-XC; written communication from Paul Géhin and Bernard Outtier) and was copied in two columns in Estrangelo, the ancient and classical Syriac script. The gatherings – quinions – are numbered in the middle of the bottom margin, on the recto of the first and on the verso of the last leaf of the gathering (for example, the sixth gathering, numbered ܘ, begins on folio 48r and ends on folio 57v). In keeping with a common practice in the Syriac tradition, the verso of each folio is marked with four dots arranged in a lozenge and aligned with the first line of text. In addition to rubrics, column-sized ornamental bands of interlace structure the text (f. 3r, 29r, 45v, 66r, 75r, 81v, 84r, 95r). |
