by an arrangement with my colleague. Dr. L. D. Barnett, Keeper of the Department of Oriental Printed Books and Manuscripts in the British Museum. The series opens with the account of the martyr-
dom of Theodore the Anatolian, by one Theodore the deacon of Gains, Archbishop of Antioch, who claims to have succeeded his master on the archiepiscopal throne, and to have been an eye-witness of the events which he describes. Theodore was
the son of Soterichus by the niece of Euius, the King, or Governor, of Antioch, and the grandson of

and Theodore and Claudius, and the Empress urged him to destroy Theodore, of whom he was greatly
afraid.
In one of the wars between the
Romans
and Persians, Nikometes, another son of the King of Persia, was captured and taken to Antioch, but
was allowed to escape with the connivance of Theodore and the help of Archbishop Gains, who wanted the money which the King of Persia had sent as a
When bribe to spend upon the poor of Antioch. Diocletian found this out he slew the Archbishop
and plundered all the churches in Antioch, and seized Theodore by treachery, and had him crucified on the great persea tree near the gate of the palace
at
Antioch, and 153 nails driven into his body. This Mai-tyrdom is a very interesting document,
and belongs to a class of historical romance which few examples in Coptic are known.

In the beginning of his Discourse on the InvenHoly Cross, Cyril of Jerusalem relates
the story of the conversion and baptism of Isaac the Samaritan, which was due to a miracle wrought
by the presbyter Apa Bacchus, and to the appearance of a Cross of light at the bottom of a lake of bitter water. Isaac was a scoffer, and took every opportunity of reviling the Christians, and pointing the finger of scorn at them because they went up to Jerusalem to worship a piece of wood, which was
not only idolatry, but disobedience to the Law of Moses. One day he entered into a dispute with
a presbyter, who succeeded in making sweet some bitter waters by throwing into it two bits of wood tied together in the form of a cross,

At
the end of seven days of cold, hunger, and thirst, Judas, one of the seven, remembered that

Timothy urges his hearers to write the name of Michael on the walls of their houses, and on their garments, tables, platters, and drinking-cups. In his Discourse on Gabriel, Celestinus, Arch-
bishop of Rome, proves that this archangel is the chief celestial envoy chosen to bring glad tidings to
man, and describes the great honour which was his when he was sent to the Vkgin Mary, and to the shepherds at the Nativity, and when he led the Hebrews forth from their captivity. His power to

DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS

1.
Oriental, No. 7030.
This manuscript contains 43 vellum leaves measuring from 11| to 12 in. in length by about 8|in. in width. The volume was very much used in ancient days, for the
outer margins of the leaves are soiled and
worn and
torn.
The pagination runs from S-oit, then we have naL TTh. The quires are six in number, and are signed by letters. The first three contain eight leaves each, the fourth and
fifth
quires contain
seven
leaves
each,
and the
last quire
contains only five leaves.
The
leaves vary greatly in colour
and thickness, and some are spotted with grease and stained with water. Foil. 11-14 are written in a different hand, and
take the place of illegible or missing leaves. A tear in Fol. 32 has been repaired by sewing, and the thread which joins the
edges
is still
in place.
of writing, containing
Each page is filled with two columns from 28 to 30 lines. The writing is
usually written in black ink,
bold and good.
The
initials are
and decorated with red borders, but sometimes the reverse is the case (e.g. Foil. 4, 7, 19). The letter aa is often filled
with a large red dot. One of the best pages of writing in the volume is illustrated by Plate I. The only piece of decoration in the volume is found on Fol. 1 a (see Plate II},
and consists of a narrow plaited- work border painted in red and black. Bound up with the manuscript are some fragments of
older
books which were used by the monks of Edfu for padding in the original binding. On one of these is a portion

of a secular character,

martyrs were not accustomed to include in their works. Theodore begins his discourse with a eulogy on the city of Antioch, which he describes as a beautiful and fertile garden, filled
with trees bearing scented blossoms. Great men and generals rejoice therein, and Antioch may, in this respect, be compared with the heavenly Jerusalem, the abode of the Saints. In a
series of
highly rhetorical sentences the Patriarch of Antioch

Umerianus, however, doubted the loyalty of Claudius and Theodore, and the Devil urged him to dispatch them to Egypt to serve with the recruits, obviously with the idea
removing from them the opportunity for plotting against him. As for any services which they might be able to render in
of
the wars against the Persians, the Devil was able to recommend a man who would be far more useful in this respect, namely,
one Akrippita, or Agrippita, a goat-herd, then living in the

district of Psoi or Ptolemais, in
Egypt. Thereupon Umerianus
dispatched an imperial officer to bring Akrippita to Antioch. Akrippita was a friend and neighbour of Psote of Pso'i, and

Demetrius opens his discourse with a reference to the twofold joy which attaches to the month of Khoiak (Nov. 27Dec. 26),
first
because at
its
beginning- the festival of harvest
is
celebrated, and secondly because at its end is the great festival of the Nativitv. According to a tradition which he found in some work on Chronology, Demetrius also states that Christ was
born on the day of the new moon of Khoiak (November 27), which fell on a Sunday. Mary, he says, was the daughter of
Joakim and Svisanna
(sic),
and was the child
of their old age.
She was born on the Sabbath, on the 15th day of the month of Hathor, and on the following Sabbath her name was
registered in the Temple, because she
was the
first-born child.

she was three years old, her mother took her to the Temple to give her to the Lord, and as soon as the child was
upon her feet she walked into the Temple by herself and went on into the place behind the veil, where she remained,
and wholly forgot her parents. At the age of ten she wore a dainty, spotless tunic, which was kept in position by a girdle, and a kaf^yah^ or head-cloth, which covered her eyes. She wore no sandals, and her feet, arms, and hands were unadorned

the appointment.

Macedonius heard about the old woman he cursed her

prayed for the conversion of the people to Christianity. One night he saw a vision in which the two sons of the pagan high priest were kneeling, one on each side of him, and a man

After the see of Philae had been vacant for some time^ the jieople felt that a new bishop ought to be appointed, but

habit of beautifying their faces and bodies with paints and
unguents, and then going to church and seducing men to commit adultery with them. These were suspended head downwards, and dragon-serpents were twining about their
bodies
and devouring
them, and
their

were being
laid
burned with fiery torches.
Again Paul looked and saw a
pit of
fire,
and above
it,
out on gridirons, were the foi-ms of the godless heathen, and they were all blind, and were dressed in black apparel.
Laid out on another
series of gridirons
over the
fire
were other
human
forms, with savage beasts tearing out their entrails and devouring them. These were the virgins and widows, who on this earth not only committed fornication, but who
slew the children that were the offspring of this sinful intercourse, and then cast out their bodies to be devoured by the dogs and by the swine. With them were the men who had
been their paramours.

They were dressed in sackcloth steeped in pitch and sulphur, and were being driven along by the pitiless angels who thrust
their fiery horns into
them, and meanwhile serpents of fire were coiling about their arms, and necks, and legs. When Paul wept at the sight of these awful punishments the angel
rebuked him, and told him that he would shew him the punishments which would be inflicted on the Day of the
Great Judgement, and that they were seven times more terrible than those he had seen.

Him and wailed for mercy and rest, for His appearance above had brought them some alleviation of their torments. But Christ first reminded them of all the evil which they had done to Him on earth, and then promised, for the sake of

the sweetness of thy words,

to forget the other portions of the narrative
which
we have begun to relate. Because Herod found that the Magi had made a laughing-stock of him, and that he was unable to overtake them on their road, he was filled with
wrath by his father the Devil, for he was
afraid,
inasmuch
as they were masters in the arts of the sorcerer, lest they
should do evil things to him, and he did not know where the Christ was so that he might seek Him out. Thvis he continued
two evil passions, anger because the Magi had made him a laughing-stock, and hatred towards the Christ, Whom

was as wholly devoted to works of charity and almsgiving as was her husband. And these two people were devoted followers of the holy Archangel Michael ; now the name of the man was Dorotheus, and the name of his wife was Theopiste.

when they were married

them were still quite yoving they had each possessed a large and certain income, which had descended to them from their parents, and they possessed flocks and herds, and also other
necessary goods of this world. And these two people observed a good custom in respect of the holy Archangel Michael on the twelfth day of each month. When the twelfth day was
drawing nigh they prepared offerings on the eleventh day of each month, and on the morning of the twelfth day, at
