Description:
|
Nineteenth-century Syriac manuscript,The shorter metrical grammar of Bar Hebraeus. The main text is written in a column toward the inside of the page, and the outer margin is filled with the commentary in small writing. The main writing is a bold and florid serto, somewhat variable in size, c. 14 lines per page, provided with a combination of vowels, diacritical points and accents with conventional subscriptions in Syriac and Karshuni. Red is used for headings and for qushshaya and rukkaka. As far as fol. 41 the inner and outer columns are ruled off; thereafter the commentary is more freely written. The text is ornamented with geometric designs, birds and fish, in red, black and green. On fol. 116a a colophon identifies the date of the manuscript as 2757 ( = 1845/6 C.E.) and the scribe as Saliba son of Sh. Yosep from a village near Beth Sabrina (in Tur 'Abdin). Oriental binding of cloth (partly perished) over
wooden boards.
