Another Harklean Gospel Lectionary from the J. Rendel Harris Collection: Colchester, Colchester Museums 1932.228

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In 1932, Colchester Museums acquired their sole Syriac manuscript, a Harklean gospel lectionary dated to 1221 ce. Despite the brief notice published in that year’s annual report, the manuscript has received no academic attention, and there was only a rumour of its existence among Syriac scholars. In this article, I introduce the manuscript, describe what is known of its acquisition history, and provide a full catalogue description.
