Bookseller Notes

A beautifullly printed edition of the complete hymn, copied from the sole surviving source - a twelfth-century manuscript held in Harvard University Library. The Syriac text is set in Vincent Figgins' 'long primer Estrangelo', a type created for Cambridge University Press in 1898, from drawings made by F.C. Burkin, from his own fine Syriac hand-writing. (Printer's Note)
