A single volume, decorated manuscript in Bohairic Coptic, illustrations in the text, probably added later. Eighty leaves plus a contemporary free endpaper at the front, single column, ten lines sepia Coptic with accents, and some sections in red. Crude illustrations throughout, some full-page, stained and rubbed, slightly damaged. All are housed in modern full dark brown Morocco. Coptic manuscripts from this region are often copied in this stylistically simplistic manner, with illustrations often appearing crude and provincial in nature.
