Notes
Ms. codex.
Cataloged from existing description.
Collation: Parchment ; fols. 739 ; modern pagination in pencil.
Layout: 20-25 lines in 2 columns; hardpoint ruling.
Description: Written in brown ink by two scribes ; scribe A wrote pp. 3-702 and 711-739 in minuscule script ; titles, initials, liturgical references, and references to feasts in gold alexandrinischer Auszeichnungsmaiuskel ; ekphonetic notation and some text initials in red ink ; scribe B wrote pp. 703-710 in a larger minuscule script ; here the titles, initials and some ekphonetic notation are in carmine.
Decoration: miniatures and painted initials. A colophon on p. 615 indicates an abbot Alexios Stoudios commissioned and guilded the manuscript. But the colophon is false as most of the decoration in this manuscript was executed in the 20th century by the forger Demetrios Pelekasis (1881-1973).
Origin: Probably written in Constantinople in the 12th century.
Binding Note
Bound in dark-red goatskin over chamfered wooden boards, probably dating from the 16th c.
