Adam, the Virgin and St. John stand on either side, the
upper part of the cross stands out against a background

other cover and the back of the binding has entirely
disappeared), late XI. cent., 4to. (400), July 25, Sotheby
Meredith, £165
[Examples of early Byzantine bindings are of excessive
rarity. The manuscript was probably written by
of Egyptian or Arabic origin, as the scribe found difficulty
in transcribing the Greek letter 3 (beta), in many cases
using μ (mu). The name of Leontius appears on the
paper pasted inside the binding, who is probably identical
with the monk of Cyprus who made several additions to
Codex Regius, No. 318, a manuscript of the xith century.
The manuscript came from the Convent of Queen Cathe-
rine on Mount Olympus in Cyprus.]
