Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On a Syriac Ms. Belonging to the Collection of Archbishop Ussher
The ms. Which I thus identify as that which De Dieu and Walton have referred to, is catalogued as B. 5. 16. Its bulk is inconsiderable, and it can claim no venerable antiquity. It is a small quarto, written on paper; its age is little more than two centuries and a-half and its present binding (dating, I am told, about 1820) gives it quite a modern appearance. But I hope to Show that its history and contents are sufficiently interesting to warrant me in inviting attention to the account of it which I now proceed to give.
