it is ascribed to John bar Khaldon »(pa>j>a ia ^^<3^, who
also composed a large book of theological discussions ^33 Jsisa

MS. It is in the form of a dialogue between a layman, J^bbA^,

1. The Canons and Laws of the Emperors, as promulgated

different i'roui those edited by Bruns and Sachau (Spisch-
Romisches Reclttsbach, 1880), the loss of the first four quires
of the MS. is greatly to be regretted. The text was here divided
into 95 sections, of which § 92 corresponds with § 121 of the
London MS. {Syr.-Mom. Rechtsh., Ziueiter Theil, p. 36), § 93 with
§ 141 of the Armenian text, {ibid., p. 148), and §§ 94, 95 with

Paper, about 9^ in. by 6| ; 99 leaves, of which ff. 1, 2, and
97 — 99, are blank; 12 quires, unsigned, of 8 leaves (ff. 2 — 96),
except the last but one, which has only 7, owing to the first
leaf having been cut out ; 20 or 21 lines in a page. Written
in a good, regular, Nestorian hand, and dated A.D. 1879.
I. The Memra Zcmganaya, or Memrd dhe-Zauge of Bar-
hebraeus (so called because it is written in rimed couplets of
twelve syllables), on the study of divine things (theology) and
the perfection attainable thereby. It was composed at Bagh-
dad, A. Gr. 1588 = A.D. 1277; see Payne Smith's Gatal, col.
371, no. 4; and Assemani, B.O., iii. 1. 604. To this are joined
supplementary stanzas by four later writers, viz.
1. Khamis bar Kardahe, a junior contemporary of the
author.
2. ishd'-yabh bar Mekaddem, metropolitan of Arbel, A. Gr.
1763 = A.D. 14.52.
3. Joseph II., patriarch of the Chaldeans, from the village
of Tel-Kephe, near Mosul, A. Gr. 2009 = ad. 1698.
4. The priest Saum5 or Somo (Sumo, Bar-sauma), from
the village of Piyoz*, near Mosul.
* See Badger, The Nestorians, i. Hi.
Add. 2814 653
The stanzas are arranged in the inverse order of the age of
the writers, viz. Somo, Joseph, Isho'-yabh, Khamis, and Bar-
hebraeus. This order is indicated on ff. 5 b and 6 a, first by
writing the names in full, O^OOm, \^JS>0*, JkiOX*, UCd^bXA,
^iQ!>0u3o!^a\ , and then by using the initials or other letters of
the names, viz. ^, u, ^Ik, 4?^, and A^, accompanied by an
Arabic transcription, l3.i0-««, »-**^^i P^i- l^jj-o^j and ,^3Jj^*j/i.

It is however wholly different from the Kitah al-Majdal of 'Amr ibn Matta at-
Tirhani, judging at least by our copy of the second volume of that work described
below. Compare Assemani, B.O. iii. 1, 582 sqq. ; G. E. Khayyath, Syri Orien-
tates etc., p. 106; Hoffmann, Ausziige, p. 6; Sachau, Kurzes Verzeickniss d.
Sachau'schen Savimlung, no. 12. Consequently there remains nothing to Marl
ibn Sulaiman but the history of the Nestorian Patriarchs incorporated in the
Kitdb al-Majdal; see Assemani, B.O. iii. 1, 554 — 5.

Paper, about 8|in. by 6^; 352 leaves, of which the first
three are blank. The quires, of 8 and 10 leaves, are signed
with letters only as far as f 42 a (oi). The number of lines
varies from 23 to 31. This volume is written in an inelegant
Jacobite serta, and dated A. Gr. 2033 = A.D. 1722. It seems to
have been copied from a defective manuscript, as rubrics are
frequently wanting, and there are considerable lacunae marked,
for example, at ff. 103, 129 sqq., 144, 148, 149, 151, and 181.
It contains
An anonymous commentary, ascribed to a patriarch of
Alexandria, on the books of Genesis and Exodus in Arabic.
The text is divided into lessons, C7l|^. Jt seems to agree very
closely with the Paris MSS. Ancien fonds 7 and Supplement 6
(see De Slane's Catal., p. 5, nos. 18 and 21).

The colophon, f. 176 a, informs us that this manuscript was
completed on the 22nd of lyar in the year 1918 = a.d. 1607, in
the convent of S. Mary Deipara in the desert of Scete, by
Gregory Behnam, bishop of Jerusalem. Incidentally we learn
the nature of the special connexion between the convent of
S. Mary Deipara and the city of Taghrith (Tekrit), viz. that
merchants of Taghrith were the owners of the convent, which
they had bought for the sum of 12000 dinars of gold.

On f. 176 b are two notes of purchase, but the names of the
buyers have been purposely effaced. The first is dated A. Gr.

other was written "in the days of our father Mar Ignatius
George and our father Mar Basil Isaac his sister's son, the wit-
nesses being the priest Simeon and the priest 'Abdu '1-Azali."

At the end, f. 147 a, is a brief autobiography, which I copy

(read s£l»JD^L, Tell-Kef) in the district of Mosul, in the year
1978 = A.D. 1667. His father's name was Jum'a, his mother's
Shemoni. Here he received his education, and became deacon
when about fourteen years old. At the age of twenty-two he
went to Amid or Diyarbekr, and received the grade of priest at
the hands of Mar Joseph I. In two years he was made Matran

Compare Wright's Cato/., p. 1160, no. dcccclxxxviii, no. 2
(Add. 14,660). A note at the end, f. 41 a, states that this
treatise was compiled by the author in the month of Heziran
A. Gr. 949 = A.D. 638, in which year the emperor of Byzantium
(Heraclius I.) came to Amid and thence went down to Babel
(Baghdad). This of course refers to the final struggle between
the Greeks and Arabs for the possession of Syria.

been altered so as to read I I ♦ . (of the Muhammadan era

Coarse paper, about 12 in. by 8^ ; 144 leaves of which
ff. 1, 2, 81, 141—144 are blank (there is no f. 89); quires of
10 leaves, signed with Syriac letters.
The original voUune contains the Ecclesiastical History of
Barhebraeus (pts. ii. and ill.), written in a neat, regular, Jacobite
hand, unpointed, 2 columns of about 37 lines ; probably of the
xivth cent. Between parts il. and in. are bound up 9 leaves
containing other matter.

Part III. begins f. 90 6. The supplement, ff. 132 6 — 140 a,
is a later supply, agreeing with op. cit. t. iii, pp. 487 — 563.
The original MS. comprises part ii., consisting of 7 quires
(the third and seventh have 8 leaves), numbered from ^2 to
»4^, and part ill., 4 quires (the first has only 9 leaves), numbered
from x» to ^Mr^- The later supplements are signed .^^ (bis)
and r^. There is an enumeration in Syriac letters extending
to kJ (f. 80) and thence from sCi2i (f. 90) to «n\n (f. 140 a),
and at an early date the pages were numbered (in ink). For
the lacuna between p. 154 [f. 80 6] and p. 189 [f. 81 a], see
below Dd. 3. 8-. There are, moreover, two enumerations in
pencil : one on the top left-hand corner of each leaf, the other
in the centre at the top. The latter ignores the supplement

An account of the life of Mar Ignatius XI., John bar-Saileh
(ailil.j..*), of Bartella {,.u.\4>'r^)> patriarch of Antioch, f 82 a ;
cp. Ass. B.O. t. ii. p. 386 (61).
He was born of native parents at Mardin (52.1 . i ) na£D -^
Ij^lD) in A. Gr. 1753, and was educated by Simeon of the
church of the Forty Martyrs in Amid, and by the priest John
of Mardin. He also studied astronomy under David bar d^] • O
of Atta (^ZAjIj H^^Ci^ vr^'i) '^®^^' Mardin. At the convent of
Za'faran he received instruction under the patriarch Ignatius
Khaleph (c7L2i^£i) of Ma'adan of the city of the convent of
Mar Abel. Here he remained six years. At the age of 30
he was ordained bishop of Amid and Tyre by Mar Ignatius
and received the name of John. He visited Jerusalem and
Alexandria with this patriarch (f. 84 a, col. 1), and together
with the monk »^jj|2) journeyed to Scete (see f. 86 a, col. 2).
John was elected patriarch on the Sunday of the Annuncia-
tion of Zechariah, A. Gr. 1794, and died on the 24th of
September A. Gr. 1804 = a.d. 1493, in his fifty-first year.
Among other details here recorded may be mentioned the
quarrel between Hassan Bagh (^lU^ ^-CD-kj) of the Iberians
d-i-Mija... L^Sio] \^-;ciJ\) and the Turks (ij_D)oZ). Mention
may also be made of the disputes with the Nestorians of Nisibis
(l^iOt) which arose from the patriarch's desire to build a place
of prayer for the Jacobites of that place. After trying in vain
the sites of the old churches of Mar Jacob and ^SO-i? »-.;.Sd, he
finally came across the foundations of the church of U-^ wj^.
Dd. 3. 8^ 983
Among the other churches and convents which he repaired or
built are mentioned the churches of the Forty Martyrs at
Mardin, where Jacob-Shah ((n]j» .'nonv .) bar ^j|^ was
deacon, of L-^flSlo (Amid), of Mar George in *oclq.«.Ld (near
Mardin), of the mother of God in ^];_k», and of Mar * in

Marginal notes in Ar. and Syr. occur on ff. 39 b, 42 a, 43 a,
49 b, 9U a and elsewhere. There are various notes in Karshuni
1008 Ff. 2. 15; Go. 2. 14
on ff. 1 a, 224 h, the latter containing a recipe for making ink,
and the statement that the MS. was written for George, son of
Sara, of the city of [name erased], now living in A . i i>1
(? Edaneh), under the supervision of Habakkuk (^nn n r:i_i,i) of
the same city.
On f . 1 6 are drawings, in three colours, of John the Baptist,
the Messiah and the Virgin Mary, and on f. 2 a is a design in
black and red of a cross on a pedestal.
On ff. 2 h — 4 is a list of lessons (.copn >^o n) from the above
portions of the New Testament, imperfect, breaking off at the
fourth Sunday after Pentecost.
The title and contents are written on a leaf in the inside,
and below is the note : ' Ridley says (Marsh's Mich. vol. 2, pt. 2,
p. 544)-|- " septem canonicas Epistolas in hoc Mscrto frustra
quaesivi." Behold three of them above. He was deceived
probably by their being added to the Acts.'
The title outside is Acta Apostolorum ms., and upon a
piece of paper pasted inside is the description : ' 8. acta aposto-
lorum et epistolae scriptae anno acre Graecorum 1836 Syriace.'
This MS., which was presented by George I. in 1715, was
formerly the property of Bishop Moore, and bears on the inside
cover the number " 619." This number and the description
mentioned above are identical with item 9805 in Bernard's

8. A didactic hymn by Mar Ephraim on humility, love of
learning &c., beginning f. 224 b :
Cp. Add. 1166 (3), p. 3 above. The MS. breaks off at the
end of the IsO stanza.
There is a Syriac prayer and some Arabic on f. 1 a, also the
title " Psalterium Dauidis lingua Syra." The title outside is
LIBER PSALMORUM.
This MS. doubtless belonged formerly to Erpenius (see
the Introduction), and there is reason to believe that it is one
of the two MSS. which he used in his edition of the Psalter
(printed in 162.5). The MS. abounds with critical notes a large
number of which are variants from another MS. designated ' b.'
The ]V?..A^ of each Psalm are nearly always marked with
consecutive numbers agreeing with the printed edition, and the
Gg. 6. 30; Ll. 2. 4 1029
presence of such notes as " M. M. prima" on f. 171 a (cp. printed
edition p. 273 foot), and " R. R. prim. 313 " on f. 191 a (cp. p. 313
foot) renders it probable that part at least of the printed text
was ' set up ' from this MS.
The following may serve as a specimen of the critical notes:

On f. 162 6 is a prayer by one John (^JLjv»aj) on behalf of
the scribe, and a note by Simeon ^•[;.Li ^ID (?) mentioning
Eabban Simeon and Rabban Joseph.
There are notes in Arabic on f. la (with the date A.Gr.

inside cover is a list of the contents.
This MS. was collated for Walton's Prolegomena and contains
several Latin notes, chapter-divisions, etc. probably the work
of Thorndyke (see the Introduction).
The title is versio syriac. prophetarum m.s. On a
fly-leaf at the beginning is the pencil note " lib. 75," and
above (in ink) " Versio Syriaca pphetarii Liber incomparabilis."

From the subscriptions (some in Karshiini e.g. pj). 299, 486,
597, 652, 1500) which appear at the end of most of the letters
we learn that this MS. was written by Sergius of Semar-Jebel,
a native of Botrys, in the convent or church of Mar Antonius
in IJuzhaye of Mt. Lebanon (cp. Payne Smith, Cat. Bodl,
no. 188) in the year 1601 A.D. in the days of Clement (VIII.) of
Rome, and Bernard (|j3p^) of Sidon. Mention is made also of

There are illustrations on pp. 1219, 1221, 1288, and notes
in Latin on pp. 1 — 5, 822 sq., 1500.
On a leaf inserted at the beginning of vol. i. is a translation
in Latin of the opening words of the MS., and on p. 1 the same
1036 Mm. 4. 18; 6. 29
hand has written : Sum Academice Cantahrigiensis Lexicon
Syro-Arabicum Bar-Bahluli. The title outside is lexicon
SYRO-ARABICUM MS.
This MS. has been used by Castell (see Pref. : Dictionariuiii
Bar Bahluli ingens volumen in folio, in hoc opus transvectwn),
Bernstein {Lexicon, vol, i., fasc. 1 ; Berlin, 1857), Payne Smith
{TJies., e.g. col. 889, 1. 26), and most recently, by Duval in his
Lexicon Syriacum auctore Hassano Bar Bahlulo (Paris, 1888 —
1896; see fasc. i., pref. p. ii sq.); Hettinger and Gesenius* are
doubtless right in their statement that it once belonged to the
collection of Erpenius.
Mm. 6. 29
Paper, about 6f in. by 5; 151 leaves (ff. 32, 34, 36 are
numbered twice), stained and in poor condition ; quires of
10 leaves, unsigned ; usually 20 — 23 lines on a page. Written
in Jacobite (resembling Gg. 2. 14), probably of the xvth cent.
The MS., which is imperfect both at the end and at the
beginning (of the first quire only 7 leaves appear to be left),
deals with various chemical subjects (cp. Brit. Mus. Egerton
709, Orient. 1593). A description of the MS., and an exhaustive
analysis of its contents will be found in M. Berthelot's La
Chimie au moyen Age (Paris, 1893), vol. ii., pp. xxii — xliii, xlviii,
203 — 331 ; cp. also Duval in the Journal Asiatique, 1893,

The " Buchanan Bible," divided into capitula, which are
numbered continuously for both the Old Test, and Apoc. (up
to ji£L3 f. 230 6), and the New Test, (up to Q-2ir) f. 309 a);
diacritical marks are in green, the rubrics in red; parts of the
MS. show signs of having been carefully collated. Unfortunately,
the characters, owing to the Indian climate, have in many
places become almost (and sometimes quite) illegible, and here
and there a modern scribe has gone over them again (e.g.
if. 25 6, 49 6, 116 a). Generally speaking the first half of ths
MS. is in a better condition than the second half, where the
corners of nearly every leaf have perished.

5. f. 317 6; 6. f. 3216.
(Some account of this text of the books of Clement is
expected from the hand of the Rev. Dr Arendzen of Christ's
College.)
Whether the scribe's name was really Sabha (f. 310 6) is
not certain, it does not seem to be found in the line running
Oo. 1. 1, 2 1043
along the heads of the leaves at the end and beginning of each
quire. This is written in a heavy red Estrangela and appears
to consist of a running description (in which the word " Pan-
dect" frequently occurs) followed by the title of the book
contained in the pages below (e.g. f. 91 a \^Q^D)^1 l^Au,
f. 131 a ^SQj.\j5), The mention of the patriarch Michael
ff. 131 {h'r^ri\2^ i^h-^ -^^^ 1 • •) and 141 (l-.-^ ^ • • •
. . . \,. \\ f]n.V) w.}iD i-»-^i vO^l?)— presumably Michael
the Great (died 1199 a.d.)— supports the date (last quarter of
the twelfth century) ascribed to this MS. on purely palsBo-
graphical grounds.
At the end of each book or series of books is a note stating
the number of words it contains ; cp. above, ff. 57 h, 98 h, 273 h.
There are illustrations at the beginning of most of the
books, also some rough designs on ff. 136 a, 139 a, 145 a.
In the majority of cases each book has a short introductory
account of its origin (e.g. Judges, f 70 a ; Kings, f. 98 6).
There are many marginal notes in Syriac, some of which
indicate variants, e.g. Ex. xl. 7, U^i^:^ r, (note upon jLal) ;

indicate names of books, verse and chapter divisions, and
important lacunse &c.), ff. 237 6, 239 a, 240 a &c.
There are full Syriac indexes on ff. 1 6, 2 a, 237 a, and the
contents have been written on leaves facing ff. 1, 136 and 237.

This MS. has been collated by Dr W. E. Barnes in his Appa-
ratus Griticus to Chronicles in the Peshitta Version (Camb.,
1897), see especially ib. p. xxvi sq., where the district of Tur-
'Abhdin is suggested for its birthplace ; also by the late
Prof. Bensly in his edition of the Fourth Book of Maccabees

From the printed note on the inside cover and from other
sources"!* it appears that this MS. was presented to Dr Buchanan
in 1806 by Mar Dionysius VI. ("the Great") at Candenate
in Travancore. It was currently supposed that it was the
gift of a former patriarch to the S. Indian church, that it
had been in their safe keeping for centuries, and that it was
carefully hidden at the time of the Synod of 1599. As the
Syrians of S. India first came under the jurisdiction of the
Monophysite patriarch of Antioch in 1665, its presence in
India can hardly be anterior to that date.
Oo. 1. 7
Paper, 11^ in. by 8^; 238 leaves (numbered with Syriac
letters); 20 quires of 12 leaves, except the last of which 2 are
missing ; 23 lines on a page. Written in a regular bold Nestorian
with points, and dated 1682 A.D.
The MS. contains the Major and Minor Prophets in the
Peshitta version, divided into chapters (the number is given at
the head of the page), and capitula, the latter are numbered
separately for each book and continuously throughout. The
title of each book is written across the head of the page.
* In the short list of contents in both works Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) and
Wisdom should be transposed. The same mistake is found in the English titles
in the ms. itself.

Hand-list of the Muhammadan MSS., no. 1522.
Add. 1903
A transcript of a MS. containing the Gospels according to
the Harklensian version. It is marked Pet. 39 and appears to
represent the MS. which H. Petermann copied at Damascus ;
see his Reisen im Orient (Leipzig, 1860), vol. i. p. 127, cp. vol. ii.
p. 345. The MS. was written in Estrangela on parchment, and
had coloured designs at the end of the first three gospels.
The transcript consists of 65 quires of 4 leaves, 2 columns
of 25 — 27 lines, and is written in Jacobite (see however III.
below) ; 24 quires, signed with Syriac letters (but the end
Add. 1903 1131
of the eleventh is signed T), of 10 leaves, but the first has
8 (beginning with Matt. i. 8, see below), the eighteenth 9, and
of the last 11 are written upon. The first seven quires end at
the following passages respectively : Matt. vi. 23, xi. 29 a, xv. 32,
XX. 32, xxiv. 45 a, xxvii. 49 and Mk. iv. 8. The title of each
Gospel is written above the first and last leaf of every quire.
The transcript has numerous marginal notes in German,
the Syriac is clear, with the exception of passages where Peter-
mann evidently found the original illegible.
1. The Gospels according to the Harklensian version,
divided into capitula, a list of which is prefixed to Mark, Luke,
and John.
(1) Matthew:
Uodij tiAij i>cu,-o U>~».^ »_iASd3 jJD ^ajA^olj
From the beginning down to chap. i. 8 a is a later supply ;
cp. Add. 1904 (2).
Between chap. xx. vv. 28 and 29 the margin has an insertion
practically identical with that in Adler, NTVers. (1789), p. 90,
Cureton, Gospels (1858), p. xxxvi. The variants are jA^bo,^
(for lAaOrii), wKKj.^1^ ikL\5, v£lj ], ^^Z1 (for IIlZ]). There
appears to be space for one letter between the first two letters
of *£L»]. There is no note by the scribe on the source of this
insertion.

Wright, BiHt. Mus. Cat, p. 231 b), in the days of Mar Michael
patriarch of Antioch and Mar Joannes of Egypt and Alexandria.

father Romanus of Telia d'Arsenius and other members of his
family etc.

I, The concluding portion of a Syriac version of the
Apocalypse or Vision of S. Paul (ff. 1 — 4), It differs somewhat
(chiefly at the end) both from the recension translated by the
Rev. Justin Perkins (from a MS. acquired in 1862 from Stoddard
in Urumiyah), and published in the Journal of the Amei^ican
1168 Add. 2043
Oriental Society, vol. viii., pp. 183 sqq., also reprinted in the
Journal of Sacred Literature, vol. i., pp. 372 sqq. (1865), and
from that translated by Zingerle from Cod. Vat. Syr., no. 180
(Assemani, C.B.V., t. iii., 1, pp. 374 sqq.) in Heidenheim's
Vierteljahrsschrift, no. xiv. (vol. iv., pt. 2), pp. 139 sqq. (1869).
Another fragment of the Syriac version is found in Add. 2050
below. There are Karshiini recensions in Trinity College,
Cambridge (R. 13. 49 ; Palmer, Cat, p. 133), Paris (Zotenberg,
no. 232, 6), and Rome (Cod. Vat. Syr. no. 202 [xx], C.B.V.,
t. iii., 1, p. 472). For the Gr. and English (Perkins') see also
Tischendorf, Apocalypses Apocryphae, pp. 34 — 69, and for the
Latin etc., see M. R. James, Apocrypha Anecdota in " Texts
and Studies" (1893).
The fragment which has survived corresponds to the English
in Journ. Am. Or. Soc, p. 207, 1. 4, to p. 210, 1. 4 (= Tischen-
dorf, p. 65, n. 48, 1. 5 to p. 69, n. 51).
The conclusion of f 4 h runs as follows : —

The angel's words, the account of the writing and concealing
of the revelation, and the first part of the story of its discovery
are wanting after ^ ^Mlo . The other two Syriac MSS. are
complete in this respect, and, curiously enough, the Vatican
MS. apparently* inserts quite unnecessarily ^£S33 ^iSOt^UbufO
after m^ 9kbo2o, and continues with the words of the angel.
* Zingerle (op. cit., p. 174) has "mit grosser Heftigkeit."

II. A fragment (fiP. 5—8), consisting of songs of praise in
honour of the holy men, probably when complete not unlike

Isaiah, f. 6a; Macarius the younger, f. 66; [Paul] the simple

appears to be a statement of accounts (in Nestorian), and 4.,
found in Add. 2035, is a small fragment containing a prayer

Add. 2072^-5
Fragments in Jacobite Karshuni, probably of the xvith or
xviith cent.
1. Ten leaves, greatest size 6^ in. by 3f ; 14 — 15 lines.
They contain fragments of the Arabic version of Ecclesi-
asticus including the Prologue (see below, 2).
F. 2 sq., includes the Prologue (ahnost complete), and the
opening words of ch. i. There is a smaller portion of the
Prologue on f. 1 a.
Yi 4—10 contain ch. i. 20 (from ]]o .(TLO .^i^L wiOlo
rn\,n7) — vi. 23. Ch. iii. — iv. 4 is passed over entirely on f. 5 a.
There are Ar. and Karsh. scrawls on f. 1 b, naming, among
others, Sulaiman ibn Isaac (^qIj^kTd] ^] ^JkiXlD).
The text of this version differs somewhat from that in
Walton's Polyglot (t. iv.), and from the closely-related Brit.
Mus. Ar. MS. Or. 1326 ; e.g. :
(a) Ch. iv. 33 sqq., f. 8 a :

2. Two leaves, about 5 in. by 3|, 11 — 13 lines. The Pro-
logue to Ecclesiasticus and the opening words of ch. i.
The text of 2 is better on the whole than 1, but less complete.
There are other copies of this version at Paris (Zotenberg, no.
179, a Karshuni MS.), and the Borgian Museum, Rome*.
The chief peculiarity of the text presented by the Cam-
bridge fragments is the statement that the author translated
his grandfather's work into Syriac :

3. Fragments of 7 leaves, greatest size 6^ in. by 4|,
15 lines. Apparently portions of the life of the martyr Bar-
suma ' indutus ferro ' (cp. Ass. B.O., t. ii., p. 10). There seems
to be an allusion to his 54 years' fast on f. 7 6.
Ff. 2 6, 3 6, 4 a bear traces of Add. 2060.
4. and 5. are unimportant fragments.

A book of Syrian magic, similar in character to the MSS.
described by the Rev. H. Gollancz in the Paris Oriental Congress

contains a number of anathemas, conjurations, etc., including
lists of names of angels.
