This article is a checklist. Nos. 1 and 2, part of the Old Testament and a New Testament, may be the oldest items. Nos. 3 and 4 are two more copies of the Revelation of St. Paul. Nos. 5–9 have also long been known in multiple copies. No. 10 is a Syriac-Armenian lexicon, No. 11 is a linguistic work entitled “Illumination of Beginners,” and No. 12 is a fragment of <sup>c</sup>Abdišo-c’s Catalogue of Syriac Authors. No. 17 contains a copy of Moses bar Kepha’s On Paradise, a work so far accessible only in a sixteenth-century Latin translation by the pioneer Andreas Masius that has played an important part in the rise of Syriac Studies in Europe. The Beinecke copy of ad 1225 predates the oldest known copy by about 140 years. No. 18 is a deed of sale of ad 243, long the oldest dated Syriac text known.
