- Description

In Greek.
Script: Written by a single scribe in minuscule which varies considerably in size and angle. Many marginal notes by later hands.
Some crude diagrams by original scribe within text (e.g., f. 33r: diagram illustrating the division of sounds); others added later in margins. Headpiece on f. 1r is a plaited design set in an elaborate rectangle. An elaborate initial O follows headpiece; simpler initials elsewhere. Brown ink used for decoration throughout.
Binding: Nineteenth century. Tan calf case of molded leather, blind-tooled with gold-tooled lettering on spine. Similar to bindings of MSS 255 and 258 and probably by the same binder. Possibly by Whitaker (we thank A. R. A. Hobson for this information). - Provenance
- Belonged to Frederick North, 5th earl of Guilford (1766-1827) and to Sir Thomas Phillipps (no. 6445). Purchased from L. C. Witten with funds from the Jacob Ziskind Charitable Trust in 1957.
