Ms. codex. Title from introduction (f. 9r). Foliation: Paper, i + 196; 1-82, i, 83-196; modern script foliation in pencil, upper center recto; Coptic foliation, upper left recto; catchwords on versos, lower left corner. Layout: Written in 15 long lines. Script: Written in naskh in black ink; pointed. Decoration: Rubrications in red. Sets of four dots occasionally appear throughout. Binding: Damaged brown leather over thick pasteboard (Type III); repaired with printed material. Origin: The item is undated, perhaps produced in the second half of the 18th century. A quire of 8 leaves containing a title page, table of contents and the first part of the first homily of John Chrysostom is inserted at the beginning; likely misplaced from CAJS Rar Ms 176 which contains the rest of that text (with the missing beginning recopied on later paper in a different hand). The inserted leaves also contain the signature of the same owner, Ibrāhīm al-Rashīdī, next to... Formerly owned by the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning (bookplate front flyleaf recto).
