"Mnārat Qúdšē" (Candlestick of the Holies), also translated "Candelabrum of the Sanctuary", "Manārat al-Aqdās" (in Arabic), a theological work by Bār ʻEbrāyā (Bar Hebraeus, 1226-1286), foremost representative of the Syriac renaissance of the 12th-13th centuries. Copied in the year 1901 of the Greeks (1590), at the Monastery of Mār Abḥāy (in the vicinity of Gargar, Turkey), by the Priest Mīkā bar Barṣawm, of ʻÚrboyš, later metropolitan of Gargar (pages 1-385). Followed by short pieces: 1. "Súgítā" (metrical homily, Hymn, Song), arranged alphabetically, by Jacob of Serug, 451-521 (pages 386-387). 2. On the religion of the Arabs (page 387), attributed to Saint Cyril (Cyril, Saint, Apostle of the Slavs, approximately 827-869). 3. Piece entitled "On the investigation of the chronōnkanōn" (Qrúnonqanún) or, the 532 year cycle (Taqlab), by Patriarch Ighnaṭiyus Niʻmat Allāh, 1515?-1587? (pages 388-389). 4. Note (page 389) on the date of Lent and Easter in the year 1413 of the Greek (1102), apparently an abridged excerpt from the "Chronicle" (Maktebanut zabne) of Patriarch Michael the Great (Michael I, the Syrian, Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, 1126-1199). 5. Another excerpt from Patriarch Michael (pages 389-390), here explicitly identified as such (Mār Míkāʼel emar), on the date of Easter in the year 881 of the Greeks (570). 6. Drawing with crosses and jottings by a later hand (page 393), including a quotation from John 10:11 and a note apparently indicating the correspondence of dates 2139 of the Greeks to 1829 and 1244 of the Hijrah. 7. Part of a lectionary (397-398). The section with number KA and heading "Qeryānā d-ʻanídē" (with reading from Matthew 9:18-) starts in the middle of page 397; the number KB is visible on page 398 which is glued to the cover and Inserted in this manuscript is Barhebraeus's book on logic "Ktābā d-bābātā" (Book of the pupils of the eye) as the second chapter of base 1 (pages 22-32). The manuscript includes a version of the map of the habitable world (page 58).
