ST. JOHN'S HOU8F. CLKRK Klf WET.T,, E.C. NOTICE.

TiiE MSS. described in the present List were, for the

most part, purchased for the Museum by Dr. Budge,

Keeper of the Eg^'ptian and Assyrian Antiquities, in

1889 and 1890, at Mosul, Alkosh, and the Tiarl district.

Prior to these dates about fifty volumes had been

acquired, and several other volumes have been subse- quently brought from UrmI and the neighbourhood.

It will be seen that, besides a strong element of the classical literature of the Syrians, this collection con- tains a large number of works written in Karshiini, and that it also includes several volumes of Chaldaean

(Roman Catholic) theology. Special attention may be drawn to the examples of modern contained in the collection (see more particularly Or.

4422 and 4423).

The student may note that the S.P.C.K. collection of Syriac and Karshuni MSS. at Cambridge, and also the Sachau collection at Berlin, are in many respects similar in character to the present MSS. This col- lection has also more features in common with the

Oxford and Paris Syriac and Karsliuni MSS. (see tlie IV NOTICE.

Catalogues of the late Dean Payne Smith and M.

Zotenberg) than with the Syriac MSS. of the British

Museum described in the Catalogue of the late Professor

AVright.

Thanks are due to Mr. AV. E. Crum, as well as to several members of the Museum staff, for much valuable help in the identification of the less-known names and titles occurrinofo in the List.
