Dating as early as the latter part of the ninth century (885/886), it is a very important witness to Isaac Arabus. The aim of this paper is to give an exact overview of the homilies transmitted under the name of Isaac of Nineveh in this manuscript (ff. 81v-148v). Each homily is presented with the following information: title (both in the general index and in the body of the text), incipit and desinit, and their textual correspondences with the printed editions of Isaac Syrus by Paul Bedjan and Isaac Graecus by Marcel Pirard. Moreover, the textual correspondences with extracts of three homilies of John of Dalyatha, falsely attributed to Isaac of Nineveh, are indicated with references to the edition of Nadira Khayyat. At the end of the paper a table of correspondences between the Arabic homilies and the Syriac and Greek editions is provided.
