Ff. 119r-125v: Song of Songs, common version. 4. -- Ff. 125v-135v: Praises of Mary [Wəddase Maryam], laid out in one column. arranged for the days of the week (Monday, f. 125v; Tuesday, f. 126v; Wednesday, f. 128v; Thursday, f. 130; Friday, f. 132r; Saturday, f. 133v; Sunday, f. 134v). -- 5. Ff. 136r-139v: Gate of Light [Anqäṣä Bərhan]. Manuscript document. Title devised by cataloger. Item cataloged from existing description in Catalogue of the Ethiopic Manuscript Imaging Project: Volume 1, in which this manuscript is entered as EMIP 73. Quires: protection quire + 12 full quires, ii + 141 folios, 138 x 105 mm. Quire descriptions: quires 1-4, 6-12 balanced; quire 5 adjusted balanced. Binding: four Coptic chain stitches attached with bridle attachments to rough-hewn boards. Overlooked words of text are written interlinearly (f. 138v). The scribe regularly has to complete a line of text on another line. Much of the problem is addressed through the selection of an appropriate aspect ratio for the codex combined with an appropriate script size. But, where the line of text is still too long, the scribe completes the line of text above the end of the line (e.g., ff. 1v, 2v, 3r, 4v, etc.). This scribe will also reduce the font size at the end of lines to avoid having to go onto the next line (e.g., ff. 55v and 57v).
