Hand(s)
Produced by a single anonymous scribe, who wrote on f. 140v: ⟨Δ⟩όξα σοι ὁ Θ(εὸ)ς ἡμῶν δόξα σοι. A hand quite similar to his has recorded on f. 141r that ‘the present Menaeum’ was given to the Church of St Nicholas τῆς Πατέλας by Anousa, wife of Kyr George Damascenus.
Decoration
The scribe drew in brown and red ink a headband on f. 1r. There are ornamented rosettes in red ink, also by his hand, on ff. 1r and 140v.
Binding
Binding (probably eighteenth-century) of marbled paper over pasteboard. The endpapers and pastedowns contain no watermarks.
