LIBRARIAN'S NOTE

The present Catalogue of the Armenian Manuscripts եւ the Bodleian Library, one hundred and twenty-four in number, was begun in 1883 by the Rev. Sukias Baronian, who worked at it as opportunity offered until his death in 1904, by which time MSS. 1-63 had been dealt with. In 191 2 Mr. F. C. Conybeare kindly undertook to complete the Catalogue and compile the Indexes, and his services to the Library are gratefully acknowledged. In such a case of dual authorship, spread over thirty-five years, some inconsistencies must inevitably be found. The printing began in 1889 and much of Dr. Baronian 's work was printed off before his death. The text of the whole Catalogue was in print before the end of 1914-

The Index of Shelfmarks shows that the first Armenian Manuscripts were received from Archbishop Laud in 1635, and that Dr. Thomas Marshall, Dr. Edward Pococke and Archbishop Narcissus Marsh, with others, contributed to the building up of the Collection. A considerable number also were bought by Mr. E. W. B. Nicholson in the course of his long librarianship, including fifty in the year 1 899.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE

The following Catalogue is almost wholly the work of my lamented fiiend, Dr. Baronian. About half of it was already printed, when several years after liis death I was asked by Mr. Madan to complete it. In doing so I went through the manuscripts afresh, re-writing or making such corrections in Dr. Baronian's manuscript text as seemed to me to be necessary. In particular I ventured to alter his translitera- tion of certain letters, for I cannot believe that the translators and authors of old Armenia, using as they did the idiom of Ararat, pronounced Paulos as Boghos, Petros as Bedros, Trdat as Drtad, nor was Dr. Baronian always consistent with himself. In general, therefore, I have used the equivalents employed in the great Catalogue of the codices of the Mekhitarists at Viemia, transhterating

It would of coux-se have been more satisfactory in some ways to employ, especially for consonants, the scientific symbols invented by comparative philologists and used by Hiibschmann and Marr in their grammars of the language; but such symbols would convey nothing to most students for whose use this Catalogue is intended and to whom I only wished to impart rouglaly and generally what the letter corresponds to in the very inadequate English alphabet. I say roiiglthj^ foi' t^^e same Armenian characters were pronounced very differently in East and West Armenia, especially after the tenth century; and the more unintelligent scribes often wrote the same word in several ways, all equaUy faulty. I therefore entreat the reader not to be censorious, and would say to him in behalf both of my dear old friend Dr. Baronian and of myself —

Be to our faults a little bhnd And to our virtues very kind.

CATALOGUE OF ARMENIAN MSS.

MS. Arm. d. 5— Gospels, 12th & 13th centt.

Size, Iix7i^ in. Text, 7|x4| in. In two columns, of 21 lines each. Ff. 325. The volume is formed of two portions : the first is written on (iriental glazed cotton paper, the second (from f. 257) on vellum. Both parts are written in small uncials but by different hands, and in both parts the quires are marked by letters. Oriental bind- ing, with traces on the front cover of some metal ornaments : there was once a flap, and the volume was fastened by 3 thongs passing over it from the back cover on to 3 studs on the front cover.

It contains the four Gospels : Matthew, f I ; Mark, f. 94*» ; Luke, f. 155 ; John, f. 255, defective from xxi. 14 to the end.

Of the disputed passages there are only the conclusion of Mark and the verses Luke xxii. 43, 44 (f. 243*՝). The narralive of the adulteress (in the vellum part) is omitted, but the margin (f 281) gives the title of it. The text has the Eusebian section with numbers on the margins throughout the whole volume, but the corresponding harmonies at foot of the jagcs oeoir only in the j)aper jiart. There are to be found also the sections for choral use called Pentecostal Lessons, but there are no rich initials or marginal ornaments here or else- where.

At the end is a subscription, on vellum, but plainly from the hand of the writer of the first (paper) jiart. Unfortunately the beginning of this note is wanting, but we learn from it that ihe writer was a j>riest named Thoros. The two im- perfect words [ի լե՜^րիՆս S^iui րոսի ՚ in the moun- tains of Taurus' (words which are the last of a sentence that began on the missing part of this note) also show that the MS. was written in Cilieia. The date of the pajier part can only be api)roximately fixed : in paper and in the quality and form of writing it greatly resembles one of the Gospels of the British Museum, dated 1181. It must, however, be later, because the introduction of the passage, Luke xxii. 43, 44, as well as other

disputed passages, into the Armenian text is be- lieved to have begun in or soon before the reign of Hethoum II (i 2<S9-i307). If the paper portion of the MS. is of the J 3th cent., the vellum must be of the 1 2th cent., for it is no doubt older than the paper part, from the fact that the latter has been transcribed purposely to complete the vellum part. This may be concluded from the two pages where the two transcripts meet together ; the last page of the paper finishes with the end of the 29th verse of Ch. i. of John, leaving some lines in blank, whilst the vellum part continues with the last word (' of the world ') of the same verse. Besides, the number of the first quire of the vellum part being the letter IP, i.e. the 20th, shows that it had already a numeration of quires quite independent of the paper part, which has on the last quire the letter (', i.e. the 32nd.

At an uncertain date the MS. became the pro- perty of the commune of Urfii, as can be seen from the following inscription of the impress of a stamp (ff: 88" and 159) (,)վ'/| JVilVi, 1„(|('ՀՈ1՝("1֊

This MS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Sept. 12, 1883.

MS. Arm. d. 3֊Go8pel8, A.D. 1304.

Oriental cotton paj)er, glazed and soft. Size, 9|x6Hn. Text. 7ix4Hn. In two columns, each of 23 lines (to f. Ill) or 20 lines (f. 112 seqq.). Ff. 298. Writing bold and uniform bolorgir. Oriental binding, with flap, and silver ornaments and stones on both covers : the volume was at one time fastened by 3 thongs passing from the back cover on to 3 studs on the front cover, and two of the studs remain.

It contains the four (lospcls : Matthew, f. 1 6 ; Mark, f 93 ; Luke, f 143 ; John, f 232.

The text omits all the dis]iuted passages. It has the Pentecostal Lessons, with large initials and arabesques, although not completed, being only oxdhnc designs in a pale colour. Tho Eusebian

section-numbers are noted on the marsjins, but the corresponding- harmonies at foot of the pages are wanting. It has the Euscbian canons at the be- ginning of the volume, with the references on the margins of the test under the section-numbers.

The AIS. is remarkable for numerous full-page pictures, a large prfijiortion of which, as can be seen from the following list, are placed at the beginning of the volume.

1. f. Յ*՝. The Annunciation.

2. f. 4^. The Adoration by the IMagi.

3. f. 4՛'. The Presentation in the Temjile.

4. f. 5». The Baptism.

5. f. Յ՝". The entrv into Jerusalem.

6. f. 6»- The Crucifixion.

7. f 6''. The Burial of our Lord.

8. f. 7". The Descent into Hades.

9. f. 9՛'. The vision of Joseph, the husband of

the B. V. Mary.

10. f. IC^ Chnst Ji'riex 3Iiin/JI.

The bust of Christ holding in His left hand an open book bearing the words ' Come, ye blessed of my Father ' (Matt. XXV. 34). In the background is a note of two lines, of which the following is the translation : ' Let Cluist the God forgive on His second coming Ter Azat and Avak, who have helped [me] in these pictures.'

11. f. II՛'. The repentant malefactor entering into

Paradise.

12. f. 12*. The Annunciation to Zacharias.

13. f. 1 յ"՝. The Sacrifice of Abraham.

14. f. 14\ Christ Lnx ilmifli.

Christ enthroned, holding a book on which is the sentence, ' I am the light of the world ' (John viii. 12).

With this set of pictures are intermixed the ten pages of the Eusebian canons, which are bordered with simple reddish colour ; the same is the case with the other ornaments throughout the whole volume.

Besides these pictures there is one of each Evan- gelist at the beginning of his Gospel, by a less skilful hand — very likely by the transcriber him- self, Karajiet, the priest, who states in a final note on f 297 that he took trouble with the pictures, and that he finished the copy on the 25th June, 753 Arm. = 1 304 A. D. ; probably in CLlicia, since he mentions the reign of Hethoum (II) and the patri- archate of Grcgoiy (VII),

All these jnctures are protected by silk leaves of varying colour.

The ^IS. is adorned also on its two covers with some silver work, consisting of round-headed nails, small leaf-shajied plates, Maltese crosses of different sizes, and some stones, put together anyhow without taste or order. On the first cover there is, besides a Persian seal neatly engraved, an Armenian in- scription roughly engraved and wrongly spelt ;

on the larger silver cross we read the following :

the year 1 143 [= i'^94 a.d.]. This cross is in memorial of Ter lovanes and his wife.' On the second cover there are the following four inscrip- tions engraved on different crosses, in different forms of writing, and in coarse spelling : —

iri'J'br.ir, i.e. Mary. Ո1"Ո'1,1;1) ie. John.

S՝ 11Պ(Լ(ԻՏԻ12- ie. Ter Mkertitch. The fourth, in very ugly current style, is en- gi"aved on the larger cross, and runs thus : {\իշչ"~.

թւյն ռճքս՚գ. ա՛ր ն/d- jH քՕ , '\. c. ՚ This cross is a memorial of INIosekh, who gave it to the church of Holy Cross in the year 1143 [Arm. = 1694 a.d.] O Lord God, Jesus Christ.' It would, however, be hazardous to judge from these inscriptions that all these ornaments are of the 17th cent. In an injured note (f. 29?^), probably of the i6th cent., the goldsmith Amirkher {\\յիրխևր) states that he has made some silver ornaments for the MS., the silver being supplied to him by his mother.

This MS. was bought from IMr. Josejih Bayan on Aug. 28, 1883,

MS. Arm. d. 4— Gospels, A.D. 1335.

Oriental glazed cotton paper. Size, դ\ x 6\ in. Text, 7x4! in. In two columns, of 79 lines each. Ff. 334. Writing, bolorgir of 14th cent. Oriental binding — at one time fastened by a thongs and 2 studs.

It contains the four Gospels: Matthew, f. 19; Mark, f. 106 ; Luke, f. 165 ; John, f. 258.

Of the disputed passages the text has all except Matthew xvi. 3, and the words _/?/»« Dei in Mark i. I. But above the last twelve verses of St. Mark there is the following note : \\ւելորգ k այ", i. e. ' This is an addition ' ; and the narrative of the adulteress is marked by inverted commas on the margin.

There are the Pentecostal Lessons ; the Eusebian section-numbers, with the eon-esponding harmonies, are written on the margins at the foot of the pages ; and the Eusebian canons are placed at the be- ginning of the volume, with borders ornamented in red, blue, and green. The numeral letters refer- ring to these tables are traced on the lateral margins in red ink. To each Gospel an index of the chapters is prefixed, with the respective Con- cordance, and an Argument ; and at the beginning of each is a full-])agc picture of the Evangelist and a large head-piece. The first three are represented

as writing՝, St. John as (lictuting՝ to Piochorus. On the Ijkie liackground the name of each Evangelist is o'iven in Greek and Armenian uncials. All these pictures are protected with silk leaves in diderent colours. The ornaments throughout the volume are remarkable for their neatness and beauty.

From two colophons (fF. 328 and 33 1 ), the former of which is by the copyist, it results that the MS. was written in the year 784 Arm. = 1335 A. D. by a monk, Nerses, in the convent of St. Cyriacus and Holy Cross at the foot of Mt. Bethno (շ. [Հքչթնոյ) in the province of Ekeghiats (now Erzing-uian). at the request of ISfelickshah of the village of Thihikhartz (\ձփլուխարձ)ձօ the memory of his son Ter Stephanos, the priest, and his grand- son Sargis. Six years later Ter Stephanos sold it to the priest David of the village Vardanatsor (?) (|| £i/^i^i_jA-ju/T^) for (numbers erased) blanks. David writes (f. 331'') in 790 Arm. = 1341 a.d., in the presence of two witnesses, that after his death the MS. will pass into the possession of his four sons. In another note it is stated that the MS. was bought for 800 blanks of Erzenka by the priest Salomon, son of Ter Karapet. Later the MS. came into the possession of a certain Baghtasar, son of Asdvatur and Aslan-Khatlum, and the note which tells us this states (f. 333) that in the year 1055 Arm. = 1606 A.D. there was a dreadful famine at Erzerum. A note on f. i*" mentions that the MS. was bound by a certain Petros, son of Thoros, in the j'ear 11 96 Arm. = 1747 a.d. There are some more notes in which other names have been written liy the original eo])yist and others (ff՝. 103'', i6i\ 156% 332", 333I՛, 334), but they are of no importance.

On the fly-leaf (f. 1") is to be found a small i'ragment of an old vellum Syriac MS., four lines in a bold estranghelo.

This MS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Sept. 12, 1883.

MS. Copt. c. 2— fr. of Luke, 14th (?) cent.

Half of a single vellum leaf. Polyglott fragment, in 5 cols., Aethiopic, Syriac, Coptic (' Memjihitic ' version), Arabic in Karshuni characters, and Arme- nian, on the recto, and in contrary՛ order on the verso. The Armenian on both pages, written in liold and thick bolorgir, probaljly in the 14th cent. Text, 6x 2 in., of 22 lines on each page. Recent Bodleian binding.

It contains two passages of Luke vii, viz. : the recto 37-39, and the verso 42-44.

Montfaucon (Bibl. bibl., 1739, p. 527) mentimis a similar Ambrosian MS., containing Acts and the

Pauline Epistles in Armenian (incomj)lete), Arabic, Coptic, and Aethiopic.

The fragment was given to the Bodleian in Jan. 1884, by Mr. A. J. Butler, M.A., Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, who had just brought it from Egypt.

MS. Arm. d. 6 — Gospels, 14th (?) cent.

Oriental glazed cotton paper. Size, io\ x 6J in. Text, 7^x4! in. In two columns, each of 17 lines (to f. 318) or 18 lines. Ff. (4 blank +) 367 ( + 2 blank). Writing, bold bolorgir, apparently of 14th cent. The last quire (ff. 354-366) is restored. Oriental binding, with traces of silver ornaments : the volume was at one time fastened by 2 thongs and 2 studs.

It contains the four Gospels: Matthew, f. 12; Mark, f. 120 ; Luke, f. 190 ; John, f. 298, restored from xviii. 10 to the end.

The disputed passages are in the text, except Matt. xvi. 3 and the Ji /his Dei of Mark i. i. There are the Pentecostal Lessons with large initials and marginal ornaments ; the Eusebian section-num- bers, accompanied by their corresponding harmonies at the foot of the pages ; and the ten Eusebian Canons at the beginning of the volume with borders — the text of them, however, has almost vanished, owing to the quality of the ink. There are also arguments prefixed to Mark and Luke.

Each Gospel has a head-piece preceded by a full-page picture rejiresenfing the Evangelist: Matthew in the position of receiving light from heaven ; Mark in the act of meditating ; Luke of writing ; and John in the grotto at Patmos dictat- ing to his amanuensis.

There is no regular coloj)hon, but from scattered notes (ff. 118, 188, 211, 298'') we know that the copyist was Avcdick, the illuminator, son of Samuel and Gohar, that he learned from his father the art of wi-iting, and that with his help he executed the pictures. The restored part is by the hand of Ter lohannes, made 1017 Arm. = 1568 a. D. at the request of Ter Melckiseth (f. 366).

Oriental glazed cotton paper. Size, 7 x 5t in. Text, 5I X 4 in. In two columns, of 19 or 20 lines. Ff. (vii + ) 292 (ff. 214, 215 are missing) ( + 2 blank). Writing, large bolorgir {բ"ը՚րգիր), pro- bably of tbe I4th cent. Ff 227 to the end are more or less injured bj՛ damji, and many leaves are roughl}՛ mended ; a few leaves are wanting at the end, where one would expect the colophon of the copyist. 19th cent. Bodleian binding.

It contains the four Gospels: Matthew, ff. 1-90 ; Mark, ff. 92-140''; Luke, ff. 142-226^; John, ff. 228-289''.

Of the disputed passages the text has only the words Jt'liiis iJei (!Mark i. i ) and Luke xxii. 43, 44. The narrative of the adulteress stands at the end of John. The MS. is divided into Pente- costal Lessons, for choral use. The Eusebian sec- tion-numbers are given in the margins, but the harmonies at foot of the pages are wanting. Before each Gospel is a picture of the Evangelist, and the first page of each has a head-piece, and a large initial histnriated with the Evangelist's symbol. Throughout there are marginal arabesques. These ornamentations have a character of their own as combining features of Persian and Arabic art, but quite unartisticall}՛. On f 140'' is a Syriac gloss, signed ' habet scholiastes Sj-rus,' and on f. 141 is a quotation in Latin from the Conciliatio of Clemens Gaianus.

The vellum fly-leaf once in this volume has been transferred to f. 12 of the collection of fly-leaves which forms no. 45 in this catalogue (MS. Arm.

This MS. was bequeathed in 1713 by Archbishop Marsh, whose autograph, with the date 1696, is on f. vii^ It is evidently the MS. numbered 851 in vol. II, pt. ii (p. 49) of Bernard's " Catalogi librorum manuscriptorum Angliae et Iliberniae,' and there catalogued as part of the library of Dudley Loftus the Orientalist, whose ]\ISS., after his death in 169,5, were bought by Marsh {iO. p. 65 note).

MS. Arm. e. 4— Gospels, AD. 1469.

Oriental glazed cotton paper. Size, 7J x 5j in. Text, 5J X 3j in. In two columns, of 22 lines each. Ff. 241 (numbered 3-243). Writing, bolorgir, of 15th cent. Old Oriental binding, with a flap, and

traces of 3 thongs and 3 studs by which the volume was at one time fastened.

It contains the four Gospels : Matthew, f. 5 ;

, ]Mark, f. 71; Luke, f 114; John, f. 187.

I Of the disputed passages the text has only the words Jilit's Bel (Mark i. i) : Mark xvi. 9-20 is cut off. The narrative of the woman taken in adultery stands at the end of John. The Eusebian section-numbers are given in the lateral margins, but the harmonies at foot of the pages are missing. The text has the usual divisions called Pentecostal Lessons, and to each Gospel, except Matthew, an Ar- gument is prefixed. At the beginning of each Gospel is a head-piece, and there are coloured initials and marginal arabesques at the head of the Pentecostal Lessons.

Notes by various writers, giving a history of the MS., occur at the end and in other parts of the volume. 1. The first (ff. 240՚'-242), the subscrip- tion of the original scribe, contains a discourse on the meaning of the number four, being that of the Evangelists ; this (more or less developed) is usually found in !MSS. of the 14th cent, and of later date. The sciibe then states that the ^IS. was written, illuminated, and bound in the year 918 Arm. = 1469 A. D. at Kharberd (Kharput) by the priest laeob, son of Grigor and Thansoukh, by order of the priest lohannes, son of Shahbaron, curate of St. Sargis, in the same town. Other notes by this scribe appear on ff. 70 and 113. 2. An entry (f 242'') written soon after states that one Margarit acquired the MS. and pre- sented it to the church of St. Sai'gis in memory of herself and her relatives (see no. 8 in this catalogue). 3. A third note (f 242'') mentions one Tarvish, who bought the ^IS. for his family in the j'ear 1024 Arm. = 1575 A. D. 4. The fourth entry of the same hand (f. 242'') states that in the year 1042 Arm.= 1593 ^- ^- °"® '^^'՜ I^irakos of Egheg brought the volume to Shenthel (a village in the plain of Kharput). 5. In the fifth entry (f 243) it is said that one Khoja Athanas of Shenthel bought the MS. and, having it re-bound by one Karapet Vardapet (probably in the present bindinjj, which has traces of metal ornament), gave it to the Church in his village as a memorial of himself and his relatives, in the year 1146 Arm. = 1597 A. D. 6. The third note (f 242''), written in the year 1049 Arm.= 1600 K. D., mentions the prices of articles of food, the scribe adding a prayer that God might save them from the trial, probably of famine. 7. The sixth entry, without date, on a fly-leaf at the beginning (f. 4), mentions two donors, Johar and Savar, who gave a quantity of bread yearly to the convent of Khartishar. 8. The entiy (ff. 186 and 186'') states that one Khoja lovasaph. of Shenthel, gave the MS. in the year 1076 Arm. = 1627 A. D. to the church of Holy Cross {\\ni-pp ^{քշա՚ն) at Egheg {\}զ1--գ), a village

probably in that neig-hbourhood, in memory of himself. 9. According to a note on f. 4, one Khoja Tarvesh and ten others o-ave this MS. as a memo- rial to the same church of Holy Cross, in the year 1100 Arm. = 165 1 A. D.

MS. Arm. e. 6 ֊Gospels. A. D. 1470.

Oriental glazed cotton paper. Size, 7x54 in- Text, 5x3! in. In two columns, of 21 lines each. Ff.(i blank + ) 233. Writing, bolorgir, of 15th cent. There are 1 7 leaves wanting : four at the beginning, one after f. 58, three after f. 66, two after f. 108, three after f. 177, and one after each of the ff. 74, 187, 199, and 120. Old Oriental binding, with a flap : the volume was at one time fastened by 2 thongs and 2 studs.

It contains the four Gospels : Matthew, ff". 1-65 (wanting eh. i. i֊8 and ch. xxviii. յշ֊շօ) ; Mark, fl՝. 67-108'' (wanting ch. i. 1-8) ; Luke, Ճ՝. X09-] 77 (wanting ch. i. 1-9 and ch. xxiv. 52-53); John, if. 178-225 (wanting ch. i. 1-34).

As regards the disputed passages this is similar, so far as the text is complete, to the preceding IMS., except that it contains Luke xxii. 43, 44. In the other details also it agrees with that MS. The copyist, in his final subscription, states (ft' 225՝՝- 228'') that a lady named Margarit, the second owner of the preceding MS., on the death of her son, her daughter, and grandsons, during a plague that raged in Kharbcrd and the neighbourhood during the year 919 Arm. = 1470 A.D., caused this MS. to be written to their memory during the same year by the priest lacob, the transcriber of the preceding MS., who also illuminated and bound it, in the same town, in the quarter called Sinamut. It is possibly for the comfort of his patroness that the copyist has inserted in this copy Luke xxii. 43, 44 (f. 170''). The same subscription ti'lls us that in that year the Catholicos of the Armenians was Aristakcs, the bishop (of the province of Kharbcrd) Simeon, the superior of the convent (name erased and written Saph [|)u///. '?]) (Irigor Vardai)et, and ihat the country was ruled by Hassan 15eg, the Khan of the Tatars, who ' extended his dominions from Jkbylon (Bagdad) to Shiraz and lo Trebizond, and in many places was victorious ; he vanquished in one year three Khans, and killed them. Jihan- shah, his sons, and JJousayid Khan, and conquered their dominions and strongholds.' This seems to

refer to the year 1 470, since the feet is omitted in the preceding MS. which dates from 1469. On f. 226'', on blank spaces reserved for the names of Margarit's relatives, a later scribe adds, ' Who gave these Gos- pels as a memorial to the Convent of the Desert called Sur, perhaps the same convent referred to above (' Saph').' A note by another hand (f. շշՏ'՛) says that the MS. was bought by Mahtesi Khulijan in the year 1055 Arm. = 1606 A. d., who, after having it re-bound by the priest Maghackia, gave it to the church of St. Jacob (St. James), ' at the sad and distressful time when the son of Antichrist called Thavul was devastating the country of Kharberd : he stayed five months in the plain, destroying the villages around and causing desolation eveiywhere.' On the rectos of each of the blank fl". 229-233 are imprecatory՛ cautions against cutting the paper, written in two lines in the shape of X.

The old vellum fly-leaves once in this volume have been transferred to flP. 10 and 11 of the col- lection of fly-leaves which forms no. 45 in this catalogue (MS. Arm. Ն. i).

This MS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Nov. 13, 1882.

Of the disputed passages only the words//»/* շ՚ւ?? (Mark i. 1) and the verses Luke xxii. 43, 44 (f շւօ"") occur in the MS. The text is divided into Pente- costal Lessons, and the Eusebian harmonies are given in marginal form ; there are also at the beginning of the volume the illuminated frames of the ten

Oriental binding, with traces of a flap, and marks on the front cover, !-howing that silver ornaments were once affixed to it : it was at one time fastened by 3 thongs or chains passing from 3 studs on the back to 3 on the front cover (5 of which studs are still perfect).

It contains the four Gospels : Matthew, f. 2 ; Mark, f. 79 ; Luke, f 129 ; John, f 212.

The text has all the disputed passages except Matth. xvi. 3 and John v. 4. The narrative of the adulteress is placed at the end of John. There are also the Pentecostal Lessons in the usual form, and the Eusebian sections with their harmony. There is an Argument to each Gospel except John, but at the end, not the beginning, of the respective Gospels. Each Gospel has j)refixed to it a full-page sketch of the Evangelist. St. Luke is represented cutting the reed, and St. John in the grotto at Patmos, dictating to Prochorus.

According to the final notes of the scribe (tF. 275-280), this volume was written in the year 1019 Arm. = 1570 A.D. by a bishop Mkhithar of Edchmiadsin in the convent of St. James in Jerusalem. The introductory portion of these notes or subserijitions is the same as in a MS. seen by the compiler in private hands, which was executed in the same convent of St. James, in the year i486 A. D. Mkhithar, we are told, after having completed his work on the 24th May, travelled in comjiany of Avchbp. Anton Sebastatsi, once his teacher in the art of writing. At that time the MS. was presented to the convent of St. Sargis through his homonym, another I\Ikhithar, the Archbp. of Urfa, whose guests they were, in the convent of St. IVIary Deipara. This MS. be- longed in 1 865 to the commune of Urfa, as can be seen from numerous imprints of the communal stamp. During the journey of Mkhithar from Jerusalem to Urfa, which lasted one month, the MS. suffered very much, being almost ' continually in mud,' thus many of the leaves are stuck together, as the scribe says. This exjilains why the 2ist quire (ff. 240-252) has been re-copied by a later writer, who has transferred four of its original leaves to the end of the book.

The old vellum fly-leaves once in this volume have been transferred to f. 23 of the collection of flv-leaves which forms no. 45 in this catalogue (MS. Arm. b. 1).

Of the disputed passages, it has only the narra- tive of the adulteress — and that at the end of John. There are the Pentecostal divisions with the usual ornaments, the Eusehian harmony in marginal form, and at the beginning of each Gospel a full- page picture.

The final subscription of the copyist (ff. 265*՝- 268) states that this IMS. was written in the pro- vince of Gegham {*]JrijLajir), in East Armenia, the village of Barkis {\\արկք,ս), in the year of the Arm. date 1106=1657 .\. D. — 'when the patriarch of Edchmiadzin was the Catholicos Jacob [iV], the superior of the holy convent of ^lackcnots Grigor Vardapet, the king of Tajics [Persians] Shah- Abbas [II] the younger, the khan of Erivan Ghazakh Khan, son of Nadchaph-Cihulu, and the melick of the province of Gegham Melick Beg ' — by Sargis, son of a priest Petros, native of the village Goris Լ*]^որիս), in the province of Ghaphan ('| ափա՚ն), East Armenia, for Mkhithar, son of Khetchum and Khathunjan. who dedicated it to the memory of his relatives and friends— many of whose names are given on tf. շ67՚'-շ68. In the first part of this lengthy colophon the writer explains the mystical meaning of the number /'owr of the Evangelists, and this part is identical with the beginning of the colophon of MS. Arm. e. 4 (no. 7 in this catalogue). According to another note (ff. շ68''-շ69՚') written on the 15th Aug., 1165 Arm. = 1716 a.

At the end of each canon are canticles from the Old Testament, with a special collect and prayer from the office of Noctums. The canticles of the last canon, taken from both Testaments, are more numerous and are followed by prayers com- posed by Armenian authors. The canons follow this order, according to the English version: —

Psalms follow the canticles of the last canon (f. 140''). Copied by Stephanos Vardapet, of Ulukhal Լ[\սլոէ խալաէյի), near Chemeshkatzag, in Western Armenia, who was also patriarch of the Armenians of Constantinople (ff. 87, ւօՅ*՝, I2i, 143). He states that, after being elected by the nation to the patriarchal see and confirmed by Sultan Suleiman II (1520-1565), he was deposed througli some intrigues in 1550, when the Sultan left Constantinople to march against the Persians

Լյորժամ՝ ՛նա ի կարմլփՆ գնաց՝^. StephanoS then

went to Poland, where a large colony of Armenians had settled^. On his return he was again harassed, as he says, ' by the accursed հո՚ւօւՐ ՝ of his people. The \\ork (which, owing to his other occupations, took several years) was completed in the year toco Arm. = 1551 A.D.3 Stephanos asserts that he made his copy after the one issued by Garnetzi ; he is, however, often incorrect, both in the text and in his notes. Some errors are pointed out at the end of the MS. by an European scholar.

This MS. was presented by Archbishop Laud in 1639, and was once referenced as Laud. A 15-

MS. Arm. g. 2 — Breviary, A.D. 1637 &c.

Size, 3! X շք in. Text, 2^ X ifin. 17 lines in a page. Ff. 231 + I blank flj^-leaf The original text is written in bolorgir of 17th cent, on thin vellum ; the part added after f. 208 in notergir and bolorgir, by different writers, of 1 8th cent., on paper. Oriental binding, at one time fastened by 2 thongs and 2 studs.

A Breviary {\\աոգաւորոսթիսն ^^ասարասաց

\՝.ղօթից), commonly called ^^ամագիրք, containing jisalms, collects, prayers, and hymns of canonical hours. The following are the chief headings : —

1 . Formularies of faith, confession, and absolution,

f. I.

2. Canon of Nocturns {'^Հ^իշերայի՚ն ժամ՝), f. 8.

3. „ Matins {Y^nաt.oաևա'ն ժամ՝), f. 42.

4. „ Prime {\\րևագալի, Sunrise), f. 90.

' This Stephanos must not be confounded with his contem- jHjrary Stejihauos V, catholicos of Ktchmiadzin, wlio also went to Home and Poland in 1,^4^, and died at Leopolis (Lemherf;') in 1551, as stated liy Ste[ilien Konhka in his Annals (MS. l'hillip|is 7214, at Thirlestane House, ('heltenham,. This notice corrects Chamicliian. who says tiiat Stephanos re- turned from I'oland and died in Etchmiadzin in i.^S^. Walter Aretinus, who met him at Rome, 8i>eaks favourably of him (Assemani, Bibl. Med. -Laurent., 1742. pp. 60, 61).

" Kawil is a Turkish word meaning ' convention, contract, agreement.'

' Chamiehian mentions Stephanos in his list of Armenian patriarclis of Constantinople under the years 1550-61. The notes of Stejihanos correct this, unless it be supposed that he was at a later time restored to the patriarchate.

5. Canon of Tierce, f. io8.

6. „ Sext, fii8.

7. „ None, f. 126''.

8. „ Liturgy (( ypirkp սպաս արկօ/նելյյ),

13. Appendix : Names of the eight musical tones,

14. The 94th prayer of Gregory of Narek (in

notergir), f. 209.

up to the initial ^1 — V.j"°p ա՛նճառ, —

are wanting.

The copyist states (f. 208) that the MS. was

written in 1086 Arm. = 1637 a. d., near the church

of St. Sargis and IMartiros his son, for Zacharia

the clerk.

The later notes state that the ^IS. came into the possession (i) of Iskandar, son of Davoot and Gohar, in the year 1094 Arm. = 1645 a. d. (f 41), and (2) of Zatour, son of Mourouth and Belthel, who has written a note to that effect on f. 7'', written in the style of New Julpha (Ispahan).

This ilS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Nov. 13, 1882.

MS. Marsh 8 — Breviary, 17th cent.

Oriental glazed paper. Size, 4i x 3 in. Text, շ| X ijin. 15 lines in a page. Ff iii + 213. Writing, a thick and uniform bolorgir of 17th cent. Oriental binding, with traces of a flap : the volume was at one time fastened by a thongs and 2 studs.

A Breviary, differing from the preceding MS. as follows : — I. In the Canon of Matins the collects and prayers are omitted, and after each Psalm are inserted hj-mns fi-om the Sharacnots. 2. The Liturgy (ff. 129-137) is much shorter. — On f. 207 occurs the name of the owner, Khatchatour, a merchant, son of Khoja Sahak and Thilijtasha, apparently of the 17th cent. — On the ily-leaves (If. 212'' and 213) are these notes: — ' Mr. Hide at the printing- house in Charter-house yard,' and ' ^Ir. Seaman in White-cross alley in the u})pcr-Moorcfields.'

This MS. was bequeathed in 1713 by Arch- bishop Marsh. It was bought by him among the MSS. of Dudley Loftus, who died in 1695. and is no. 852 in vol. II. ]it. ii. (p. 49) of Bernard's ' CataUigi librorum manuscriptorum Anglia՛ et Hibernia?.'

MS. Marshall (Or.) 106 — Low-Mass book, c. A.D. 1675.

Paper. Size, 6| x 4 in. Text, 4! x 3 ւ in. Ff. iii+i8. \Yriting, notergir. Oriental paper cover with outer European half-leather binding՝. 'A Service for the Low IMass' (\]պասսււորութիւ'ե թիլ պաաւսրագի), being cxtracts from the Ar- menian liturgy, for the use of the priest at Low IMass, — a form of liturgy after the Latin Church admitted by the Roman Armenians.

An European hand has transcribed in Latin characters (tf. 9-14) all the above liturgy.

The copyist, a Roman Armenian priest, has added the following note in Armenian (f. H*") : — ' On aniving at Oxford, 12 Dec, 1674, I called upon Dr. ISIareshall, with a recommendatorj- letter, and found him a learned man, and acquainted with many languages. Although very old he greatly desired to learn the Armenian language. I, lacob Grigorentz, merely came here to see the country, but stayed during the winter, as traveUing was unsuitable both by sea and land. If (jod preserve my health I shall leave for my own country, Armenia, on the first of April. Farewell, my brethren, for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.' Andreas Acoluthus, at the beginning of the jireface to his ' Obadias Armenus,' 1680, gives a description of the person of this Grigorentz, whom he calls Jacobus de Gregoriis, who had left Armenia to see other countries, and who called on him at Leijjzig about 1676.

This MS. was bequeathed in 1685 by Thomas Marshall, D.D. Its reference was at one time altered to MS. Bodl. Or. 357.

MS. Arm. g. 1 — Antiphonary, 14th cent.

Oriental cotton brown paper. Size, 4I x 35 in. Text, 3|x2|in. 18 lines in a page to f. 54, generally 1 7 afterwards. J՝f. (2 blank + ) 176(4-2 blank). Writing, bolorgir of 14th cent.

Oriental binding, with traces of a Hap : the volume was at one time fastened by 2 thongs and 2 studs.

An Antiphonary {\}՝ւս'նրու.սյ՝ու.'եթ), containing anthems, introits, Src, with musical notes, for the four canonical hours, viz. Nocturns, f. 3 ; Matins, f. 1 2 ; the Liturgy, f. 42 ; and Vespers, f. 99. It contains words and portions of sentences, being the volume for the use of a chanter. There are

some additions by later hands (ff. 139-174), and another hand has written some incoherent verses on ff. ւ75՚'-ւ76\

The name of the original copyist, Lucas, as well as that of the owner, Tiratzou, a priest, appears ia notes on ff. շՏ՝", 66'', and 97^ But not many years after, as it seems, the jMS. passed into the hands of a new possessor, the priest Thadeos, who in the year 820 Arm. = 1371 A.D. caused the second copyist, named Stephanos, to make the additions which we see between ff. 139 and 175. See the notes on ff. 138'', 173^ ]74^ On fol. 173'' there is a very short note by a still later hand, containing four names.

The old fly-leaf once in this volume has been transferred to fol. 21 of the collection of fly-leaves which forms no. 45 in this catalogue (MS. Arm. b. 1).

This ^IS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Nov. 13, 1882.

An Antiphonary, rather similar to the preceding MS.

On a fly-leaf at the beginning is a note by the priest Ohannes Aghbakatzi, stating that in the 3'ear 1080 Ai-m. =1631 a.d. he had been in the convent of Aghzouart {\՝^ւլզոսար1^, Gaghzouan ?), a district to the south of Kars.

This i\rS. at ditterent times since its entrance into the Bodleian has borne the following other pressmarks, (i) A. 161, (ii) Arch. B. 19, (iii) 3008 (in the 1697 Catalogue), (iv) MS. Bodl. Or. 196.

325 ; f. 79 is mutilated. Oriental Viinding՝, with traces of a flap: the volume was at one time fas- tened by a thongs and 2 studs.

A Book of Sharaeans (Հ՝ ^արակՆույ), or Hymns for special occasion?. These hymns, mostly in prose, are sung՝ at canonical hours and at other services. The first part of the book is arranged according to the order of the festivals ; the second part accord- ing to the class of subject. These hymns were com- posed at various periods, down to the i6th cent. MSS. prior to that time ditRr more or less in their contents and arrangement. The order of our jNIS. is nearly that of the usual text. Many omissions are supplied at the end, partly by the copyist himself (ff. 329-335) and partly by a later hand (ff. 336- 361). Ff. 175-178'', containing the Canons of the 6th and 7th daj's of Pentecost, arc also by a later hand. The Canon of St. James of NisiViis, which aj)pears in the original on f. 25'', is repeated on

f. .34y^

A very short note on f 88 gives the name of the original copyist, Sargis. Other notes on fl՝. 3a, 115'', 192, 195, 269'', and 292 are very brief, with- out date, and of no historical interest.

This MS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Nov. 13, 1882.

Writing, small and regular bo- lorgir, with musical notes, ornamental initials, and marginal arabesques, of the 14th cent. ¥i. 1 and 286-9 ^^^ ^y later hands. Oriental binding, with flap : the volume was at one time fastened by 2 thongs and 2 studs.

A Book of Sharaeans ((" ^արակՆոց) like the pre- ceding MS., but in rather difierent order. The Canon of St. James of Nisibis comes after that of St. Theodosius (f. 28). The hymn for the Saints' days {jmjhi. ՜^^րարչակա՚ն) are distributed according to their respective days into the Canons of Passion- week (ff. 107-114), whilst the hymn ՝[,որասաԼ-ղ- հ-եէսի with the Canon of the second Palm Sunday, hcgin. \]՝ՕՒաՀրաշ^ (f. 1 66), follows the Pentecos- tal Canons {{\ի%ո,%բ) (f. 1 68). The Canons for the Dead and the Canticles for the Hours of Sun- rise precede the Canons of Lent (If. 42-64). The MS. also contains many Sharaeans, and some stroj>hos of Sharaeans, now out of use.

The name of the original copyist, ' Brother Thoros,' is given on f. 123. There are other notes by later hands. That on f. i*" states that the text was restored by Bp. Joseph in the year 915 Arm.= 1466 A.D. A second note (f. 127'') mentions a lady

Tinar Mama and others, who purchased this volume for the priest jNfargare. A third note (f. 161) states that the MS. fell into the hands of infidels, and was restored to its owner by public subscrijition. The last note (f. 289''), without date, is of one Stepihanos, who had the volume rebound, after making some additions (ff. 286-9).

MS. Arm. e. S^CoUects & Canticles, 15th cent.

Oriental glazed cotton paper. Size, 7^x5! in. Text, 5i|x4jin. 17 lines to the page. Ff. 238, numbered 3-240. Written in bold bolorgir, of the 15th cent. The chapter-headings and initials are rubricated, and there are a few ornamental initials and marginal arabesques. Oriental bind- ing, with flap : the volume was at one time fas- tened by 2 thongs, which still remain, and 2 studs.

A Gantzaran Լ^Հ՚-ա՚նձարան), i. e. a collection of Gantz, a sort of collects, to be sung at Matins and Vespers — intermixed towards the end with some Canticles, to be sung at Liturgy — on festivals or other great solemnities, all with musical notes. Ganiz {^\^ա%ձ, i.e. a treasure) receives its name from the first word with which Gregory of Narelc (loth cent.) always began his collects, which serve as the model for this sort of composition. The distinctive feature of them consists in the fact that the first letters of the strophes form, in acrostics, the name of the composer, or sometimes other short sentences. Later, another Gregory headed his Gantz with an octave couplet, calling it Cafa (l|u/^u/), an Arabic word, likewise acrostic. The following (jantz in this MS. were composed in the 14th and 15th centuries : —

On f. 213 the copyist says : ' O my sweet brother, Mattheos, remember in the Lord, lohanes, the tran- scriber.' A later, i8th cent, hand, states (f. 239) that 'This Book of Gantz Լ^Հճա՚նձտևտր) was given

to the church [illegible] in memory of the Tiratzou (clerk) INIinas Meghetzi.'

The vellum Hy-leaves once in this volume have been transferred to f. 4 of the collection of fly- leaves which forms no. 45 in this catalogue (MS. Arm. b. i).

This MS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Nov. 13, 1882.

MS. Arm. d. 2 — Lectionary, 13th (P) cent.

Oriental cotton paper. Size, 9x6iin. Text, 7^-f-4j in., in two columns, of 24 or 25 lines each. Ff. 293, in 22 quires, with Armenian numerals (most of which have been ploughed off), originally written at the foot of the first and last pages of each quire. Writing, large and elegant bolorgir, apparently of the 13th cent. The initials and first lines of chap- ters are rubricated. Some leaves are wanting after ff. 99, 142, 166*, 200, and 248. The MS. was re- paired in the 16th cent., when the beginning (ff. 6-27) and the end (ff. 259-291) of the volume were supplied. The latter, at first inserted after f. 169, have lately been removed to the end of the volume. The head-piece on f. 6՝՝ was ornamented roughly by the same hand to which the marginal arabesques &c. of these later leaves are due. The words are generally divided, and, except sacred words, only վամե and the termination թիւ՚ե are contracted. Oriental binding, with flap : the volume was at one time fastened by 3 thongs and 3 studs.

Lectionary (յՀաշոց), according to the church of Jerusalem, — which is the oldest form of Armenian Lectionary. Its peculiarity consists in its referring to holy places, and in the simplicity of the festivals and commemorations, which chiefly relate to events in the Holy Land and Alexandria. On comparing this MS. with the most ancient copy known (]>ev- haps 9th cent.) in the National Library at Paris (referenced Anc. fonds 20), the following diflerences are found: — 1. For Lent (ff. 39-13՛^) the number and arrangement of the Saints' days and their lessons agree with the modern Icctionarics more than with the Paris MS. 2. In the office for Maundy Thursday the canon of the washing of feet is introduced, with the sermon of the ALin-

datum (^՝1\արող^սքասւու/։րա'1ւի'ն)(\{՝. I ճյ- I (^'8), ՈՕէ

found in the P.iris MS. 3. The lessons for the Vigil of Good Friday, omitted by accident in 11ւօ original copy, have been suj)plied by a later hand (ff. 267-284); they occur here with lessons for Matins in Passion-week (ff. շ84՚'~29օ). 4. The lessons for the following days are omitted : the octave of Low Sunday, the Ascension, the feast of

Holy Cross and Holy Places, the commemoration of the Holy Innocents, of P^Iisha the projjhet, and of SS. Thomas and Andrew, the apostles. In place of these are the new festivals and commemorations, viz. the Annunciation (f. 229''), the Transfiguration (f. 242), St. John the ]3aptist and St. Athanag-ines (f. 23 J**), the commemoration of the foundation of the church of Etchmiadzin called Հ՝ ^ողակաթ (f. 247''), SS. Bartholomew and Jude (f. 249), and St. James of Nisibis (f 251).

The only note of the original copyist, on f. 258'', is unfortunately incom])lete, through the loss of the next leaf, which probahly gave his name and the date. Nor does the MS. supply the name of the later scribe, a priest, who had the volume re- bound at the expense of one Amir Beg, son of Thomas and Khelok, and of other contributors, to their memory, for the use of a novice named lo- hannes (f. 29 1 ). On the same page a still later hand states that 'the fields of Goshters' {^\>.աւշւոևրաց արտեր) were bequeathed to the church of St. Theotokos and St. Paul, by contributions from six householders (տա՚նոստկր՝), and an entry on f. 5 in notergir of the iXth cent, gives an incomplete inventory of the chattels belonging to some church. A note by a later hand (£ 290'') informs us that ' the MS. was bound in the year 1 123 Arm. [:= 1674 A. D.] by the unworthy Galoust.'

The vellum flj'-leaves formerly in this volume have been transferred to tf. 3 and 16 of the collec- tion of fly-leaves which forms no. 45 in this cata- logue (MS. Arm. b. i ).

This MS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Nov. 13, 1882.

27

MS. Pocoeke 399 — Lectionary, 14th cent.

Oriental cotton paper. Size, 13^ x 9J in. Text, 105 X 6 or 6 1 in., in two columns, mostly of 19 or 20 lines each. Ff. (3 blank + ) 428 ( + 3 blank). Writing, bold and regular bolorgir, of 14th cent. Some leaves are wanting : about 30 leaves at the beginning and after f. 5, one after f. 139, two after f. 190, about five after f. 222, and several at the end. The foliation, in Armenian numerals, at the foot of the pages, was made after the MS. became defective. The volume is stained throughout by damp, particularly on the margins. Each chapter has a large rubricated initial, and the copyist fre- quently retains the old spelling. The words are not divided, and except sacred words only //u, /3^ are contracted. 19th cent. Bodleian binding.

A Lectionary, more or less resembling the Paris MS. Its chief peculiarity consists in its having the lessons for Matins, not found in the Paris MS.

nor in MS. Bodl. Arm. d. 2. The other peculiari- ties are: — I. It introduces the benediction of the Water on the day of the Theophany (ff. 6-21''), and the washing of feet on Maundy Thursday, with the sermon of the Mandatum, and a detailed rubric for this ceremony (ff. 297-315). 2. It omits the commemorations of SS. Anthony and Theodosius. The Lent lessons agree with the Paris copy, having the lessons of the Catechumens (19 in number) grouped separately at the beginning of Lent (ff. 59-97)- As a large part of the book, commencing with Low Sunday ('(,"/> կէւ֊րակէ), is lost, no further details can be given.

There are two short notes on if. 54'' and 59 giving the name of Martiros Vardapet as the copyist.

This MS. was bought in 1693, in the collection of Edward Poeocke, D.D., the Orientalist.

According to the last note of the copyist (f. 236**) this volume was written by Jeremiah the deacon in the parish of SS. Sargis and Martyros, of the town of Keghi, in 913 Arm. = 1464 a.d. There are other short notes by the same copyist in verse and prose on ff. 117'', 123, 151'', 159, 165'', 166, 194, 198'', 218, and շշo*-22I^ Two more by different hands after the principal colophon state (f. 238) that Baron Khosh bought the jSIS. and gave it as a memorial to the church of St. Saviour. The names of the donor's relatives are also given. A last note states (f. 238'') that the volume was repaired and completed the 28th jMarch, 1147 Arm. = 9th April, 1698, by one Lazarus of the village of Havav, ' at the door ' of the church of the Virgin Mar}-.

It contains a ^lenologium or ' Yaysmavonrk ' ԼԼ\այսւՐաւուրք), that is, a collection of lives of diffi-rent saints — observed and not observed by the Armenian ehiireh — airano-od aecordinor to the Armenian year, whose opening day, since the variable year has been changed to a fixed one, corresponds to Aug. ii. Two or three principal redactions of Yaysmavonrk have been made in the course of centuries. The latest, to which the pre- sent ^IS. belongs, as well as the different editions of Constantinople, made in the last century (in 1706, etc.), was by Gregory Vardapet Khlathetzi, about the beginning of the 15th cent. The style of this compilation is of more modern Armenian than those which preceded it, and many spurious materials enter into it ; but it possesses an inter- esting feature in its many lives or martyrdoms of Armenian martyrs who suflered in later times, chiefly at the hands of the Mohammedans.

The entry relating to each day is distinguished by a large initial and a marginal vignette in colour. There are in the whole MS. only two large head- pieces with marginal ornaments, one at the begin- ning of the work, and the other on f. 233, the 5th January, the eve of the feast of the Theophany (Christmas). The small ones are reserved for the first entry of every month. Only red and blue are used in the ornamentation. There are no pictures : on f. 76'', immediately after the title of the article on St. Cj'prianus and St. Justina, we see a blank, and at the foot of the page this note : ' ո՚վ^

էսո^եյ՝'եԼաոոՈ1 օկու֊սրն պէստԼերն 1ւ ոկքւպրրանոսհ՚ն

ասա ՜նկարկ ՚ — that is : ՚ Caril'ul painter, jjaint here the picture of the Virgin and Cyprianus.'

Almost throughout the IMS. the copyist has added at the end of each day's lessons a short prayer for the owner of the MS., and his relatives, and for himself: in the last one (f 590) the writer, a priest named Mkertitch, states that this copy was made in the Arm. year 931 = 1482 .\.D. in the jjrovinee of Kharlurd (Karput), in the convent Khoulayo or Khoulaou, in the parish (' under the shadow') of St. George the General, and the Very Holy Deipara. and St. Sargis the Cieiieral, while the su])erior of the convent was Grigor Var(la))et, at the request of Khoja lacob, son of Komji-IJeg and Tinar. Many members of the linnily are named in this colophon and in the subscriptions above mentioned.

At the end of the volume are many subscriptions and different notes. On fl՝. .590'' and ,'')91՚' there are two notes by different hands, each concerning the two bindings which were jmt on the MS. The first was written in the jear 9^,7 Arm.= 1508 A.D., by a monk named Carapet (iandjaetzi ('ւ»!!/!!!^ շահչւի) — [there is now an Armenian village (iantza near Akhalkalak in (Georgia], and the second 65 years later, in 1022=ւ,՚՜,73 a. i)., by a monk named Lazar, and Archdeacon lohannes in Aleiijx) ' at the door of St. Deipara and the Forty Sainted Youths'

(of Sebaste). To the latter note a later hand has added in notergir : 'It is bought for 177 ]>iastres {ղրշ_), and put in the church of St. Deipara.'

On the same folios there is written an eleg\՜, in verse, of 31 quatrains, on the death of lohannes the deacon, son of Khoja lacob, the owner of the MS., who died in his youth in Kharberd in the year 927 Arm. = 147H A.D. ; the following is the first quatrain : —

'ՕԲըՆ <1արիւր Հայոց թվի%, ե- հբ ւաէ^եւորոիՆ,

խարրՄոգ ոաոաբ սոէ^գ մե& եոս. սսյսն սաՀոէ֊ան ւոցաՆիսիս. etC.

Sometimes also (as on ff. 4'', 5'', 6'') short sub- scriptions in the body of the volume give a list of the sons of Khoja lacob, among whom lohannes is mentioned as ' deceased ' or ' late ' — but he is not invariably so described, e. g. not in the last colophon.

The name of the compiler of the above-men- tioned elegy is added by another pen in red ink,

at the end, ' \^՝'աթէոս էՒառայ սբ ա^աձ-թւ, ամկՆ,'

i.e. Matthew, servant of St. Deipara, amen.

Ff. 590* and 591'' contain five entries, by four different hands, of donations made by different people ' to the convent of Khoulaou' in 1503 a.d., and in 1505-1526 A.D. 'to the church of the Deipara,' called also the church of the Forty Youths, in Aleppo, whither the MS. seems to have been removed.

The lust note, following the entries of the dona- tions, is by one Abraham, who proliably lived in the 1 8th cent., and who says that he had copied many passages from this MS.

Subjoined will be found a list of the contents 01 our MS. For the identification of the entries, there is added to each one the corresponding date taken from the Greek ]\Ienologium of Basil, and, where the latter affords no jiarallel, reference is made to the Acta of the Bollandists՝. Some feasts, however, being peculiar to the Armenian church, sometimes no comparison can be made either with the Greek Menologium or with the Acta.

The copyist added to each treatise a postscript, asking the reader to prav for him and the owner of the MS.—see ff. 32, 43". 46^ 53՛՛. 73. ^o^ ^5՛, 96, 105, 184, 220^ 287, 348. Only in that which follows the Apocalypse (fi՝. 139-140) does he give any personal details : there he says that he is called Stephanos the Scril^e [գպէր), and that he has written this MS. in the year 773 Arm. = 1324 a. d., in the convent at Skevra (in Cilicia) at the request of Abraham ' the aged monk.'

The two veUum fl^'-lcaves once in this volume, of four pages each, and both palimpsest, have been trans- ferred to f. 26 of the collection of fly-leaves which forms no. 45 in this catalogue (IMS. Arm. b. 1).

This SIS. was bought from Mr. Joseph Bayan on Sept. 12, 1883.

MS. Laud. Or. 21 — Prayerbook, 16th cent., etc.

Paper. Size 4X 2'1 in. Binding, white vellum, with 2 clasps.

A pocket-book consisting of an irregular compil- ation, by different writers, of unconnected articles, either in bolorgir or in otergir. The original nucleus of it (ff. 42-62) is in a more regular bolorgir writing.

The small size of the volume shows that it was intended to be carried by the owTier as a prayer- book, and at the same time as a charm against dangers. It was owned by one Pirzade [փէրղատ^) of Persia, whose name is inserted at the end of the original writing, on f. 62՝^. He has, however, also

utilized as a note-book the blank pages which had been left at the beginning and end.

The contents are — to begin with the origin.al part (ff. 42-62), which is a collection mostly of well-known pra3'ers — as follows : —

1. Prayer of Nerses Shnorhali. Beyin. ձ^աւատով_

6. Prayer for the intercession of the Holy Cross.

Begin. \ ՜^արեխօսութեսյմի սբ ե սւ^այքւն ■նշանի, etc., ff. 60՚'-6շ''.

This contains a long list of more than 40 shrines of the Cross, with the names of the localities, which were for the most part in Armenia.

Aihlifions of Pirzade in had notergir :

7. Scribblings of no importance, ff. 1-4.

8. An itinerary of a considerable portion of the

world, with the names of the places visited by the w-riter, ff. 4՚'-ււ.

9. The Song of the Pilgrim, of which the first

verse is : '| արիրիՆ կեաՆքն k լալու-. , ff. I3-

10. Various geographical notes, tf. 64-68.

11. Italian words and expressions in Armenian

characters, ff. 69-73.

12. Ave Maria and Pafer nosfer, Latin in Armenian

13. Incantations, ff. 90-93.

B^ some other hand in bolorgir:

14. Prayers taken from the Psalms and the Com-

mon Prayerbook ((] ժամագիրք), ff. 23-33.

The writing of the original part of the MS. is proliably of the beginning of the 16th cent. As for Pirzade's part, one of the later owners, he men- tions two dates : on f. 62'', 'Aleppo 15 March 1051 Arm.' (1602 A.D.) ; and on i. 3, 'Paris 15 March 1056 Arm.' (1607 A.D.).

On f. 1", at top, is written the name Morfara S՞ Croce, and in the middle of the jiage an Arabic note followed by the words Bmptus a lioherio /,'/՛/ 1612 Aprilis xviij՞. On f. I*" we tind the name Lewis owen and another Arabic note, followed by the partly obliterated words Alexander Hope de Proitincia de Sa=Lopia. Anglia. — the name Hope being, however, just doubtful.

This IMS. was presented by Archbishop Laud in 1635, and was once referenced as Laud. A. 33. It also bears inside the no. 163, apparently written by the R. Ely above mentioned.

MS. Arm. g. 4 (R)— Phylactery, A. D. 1706-7.

Vellum roll. Size, i8 ft. 1 1 in. by 3 in. in width. "Writing, notergir.

In old Armenian biljliograpliy, this sort of roll is named <1|ա<^<^ւււ1!»ա^, i.e. ' ])hylact.cr3՛.' It was used either as a handy prayerhook, or as an amulet, protecting the person who wrote his name on it and carried it about him from all sorts of acci- dents, whether on land or at sea : accordingly it con- tains prayers appropriate to this object. This super- stitious custom is met with chiefly in the i6th and lytb centuries.

The present roll contains the following articles, intermixed with pictures: —

1. The prayer for the use of every believer,

ձ^աւատով^ խոստովւսՆիյ՝, CtC, by NerSCS

Clayetsi, with his full-length portrait at head, surmounted by a picture of a vase of liowers. The course of the praj'er is also broken by two pictures, one a half-length figure of Jesus Christ, and the other repre- senting the Crucifixion — the latter having more connexion with the following article.

2. Prayer to Jesus Christ crucified. Begin. («)»ա֊

This is surmounted by a picture of Abrahanrs sacrifice of Isaac.

5. The Genealogy of our Lord, from Matt. i. J-i 7,

written in red and lilack diagonal lines forming a net- work, the spaces of which are filled with conventional floral ornamentation. Eighteen portraits of patiiarchs, forming six horizontal rows, are also inserted, at the be- ginning and end and in the course of the genealogy.

6. Prayer to our Lord in commemoration of his

wounded side. Begin, ձ^ոգի \\J սրբևա ղիս. etc. This is surmounted by a picture of the sacred chalice, in which stands a figure of our Lord holding a wafer and bestowing the benediction, while seraphs serve as supporters to the chalice.

7. Prayer to the archangels St. (rabriel and St.

Michael, and to all the celestial host. Begin. \՝Նսկիւչբն \՝Ji- ձ^այր սբ, etc. 1ո this prayer are addresses to 28 angels, under their names, and with the addition of the special titles appropriate to their protecting functions. The prayer is preceded by a figure of an angel bearing a two-belted globe surmounted by a cross.

8. Prayer to St. Sargis the General, and his son

Martyros. Begin, ՜կր^՚նիկ JtS֊ էչաւրակաՆ քի, etc. In 14 strophes, the initials of which form the words էյ^ մեքՒէ վկայիս կ<^. At the head is a picture representing St. Sargis on horseback holding a club, and St. Martyros, who is depicted as a child, riding behind him.

9. The Evening Prayer, []րգի \\j կև'նգա%սոյ,

etc., of St. Gregory of Narek, j)reeeded by a picture of the Saint. 10. Another Prayer on the same subject (without

title), by an anonymous author. Begin. yjS-

This ])hylaetery was possessed by a certain Agham [\\ւլայ՝), who has inserted his name in the title of each prayer — a condition necessary to pur in operation the ])rotecting virtue of the sacred amulet. And with this same idea the copyist ends his writing with this l)izarre sentence : ՛ Հ,"լ/ր Jtp՛
