Manuscript codex. Title devised by cataloger. Collation: 44 quires, first ^4, last ^7. Missing final page. 3 hands of an unknown script. Quires are numbered at beginning recto and final verso in lower margin. Marginal notes. Script: The initial hand seems to consist of late-middle Armenian. Other hands seem to reflect the same, though with less certainty due to clarity and personality of their cursive. Read from Left to Right. Decoration: Emphasized red and black initials throughout. Upper edge engraved with key/anchor shape. Rubrication, indicating chapters, with an emphasized capital. Binding: Rich brown morocco over wood board dressed with linear etching along front and back cover, with 3 lines making an X across each face. Buttons from former hasps visible on cover.
