Fragment of a manuscript of the Gospels in the Syriac Peshitta version.
Item
Identifier: MS.10254
Scope and Contents
Only eight leaves are present, containing St John xvi, 23-xxi, 23; but damage to the top, bottom, and outer edges of the leaves has reduced considerably the amount of legible text. The manuscript has only a small number of minor variants from the standard text.
The script is a bold, clear Nestorian estrangela, well supplied with vowels and other reading signs, including the linear occultans. It was probably written in the early thirteenth century.
Dates:
?Early 13th century.
