Evidence
"MS Jerusalem, Saint-Mark’s Monastery, 250 (hereafter referred to as SMMJ 250) is a codex of 253 leaves"
Remarks
A codicological analysis reveals that the manuscript was later re-dimensioned, resulting in the partial loss of original foliation (p. 247, n. 66). The scribe (or commissioner) deliberately formatted the paper to resemble a Syriac manuscript, including the rare fourteenth-century use of a two-column layout (p. 247).
