- Abstract
-
Syriac-Armenian lexicon (pages 4-199), with the Armenian written in Syriac script, consists mainly of an alphabetical list of verbs in various forms. The lexicon is preceded by poems of Barhebraeus (pages 1-3), and followed by: 1. Poem on the "Life of Saint John", son of Euphemianus, of the city of Rome (pages 200-216). 2. "On the transit of the Mother of God Mary from the world" (folios 216-231). 3. "Syriac-Armenian glossary" of verbs in the imperative forms, conjugations of verbs, pronouns, etc. (pages 231-241). 4. Prayer of the solitary monks (yíḥídāyē) to each other (page 241). 5. Poems by Saint Ephrem: Commandments and admonitions for Christians (pages 242-286). 6. Prayers and miscellaneous statements in a different hand (285-286). The lexicon seems to have been written for the benefit of Syriac speakers within Armenian communities. Name of copyist and place and date of copying not mentioned probably from the 17th century
