Very little is known about this item. The manuscript is approximately 225 pages, bound in canvas; the "boards" consist of thick pads of pages recycled from other manuscripts. The title page has a large illustration of an ornate cross with textual embellishment and knotwork decoration. The first page has a decorative border of the same knotwork. The text, written in black and red ink, is in the Estrangelo script of Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic. The date is unknown but is estimated to be 18th century.
