Physical Characteristics:

Materials: Parchment. Modern binding.

Dimensions: Size, external 260 mm x 180 mm, of text 200 mm x 130 mm.

Foliation and script: Consists of 221 folios in quires of 8, and begins with quire 6; so 40 folios are missing at the beginning, and the end is also lacking. The original numbering of the quires can be seen faintly. There are generally 32 lines to the page. Every folio is rubricated. There are marginal notes in some places (e.g. folios 7, 8, 21v, 28v, 44v, 65r ), but they are apparently only guides to the reader. Fol. 59v, after line 5, an insertion in another, smaller hand, also on 218v, line 13. On fol. 220v an ornamental initial (Stichera of the Holy Mother of God for Vespers) Fol. 42v is blank.

In some folios some of the text been lost in the gutter because of the tightness of the binding. This has occurred near the centre of the volume and has a lot to do with thickness of the parchment.

Source of Acquisition:

The MS was aquired in 1837 by the British Museum. A note on the fly leaf at the beginning reads: 'Purchased of an Armenian priest named Casanji, at Alexandria, 11 Nov. 1837.' And also at the top 'MS - in the Georgian language - perhaps a Ritual.'
