Manuscript Index
The present index includes references to manuscript collections as well as to individual manuscripts. Manuscripts are listed according to the place in which they are, or were, preserved. For most biblical manuscripts the sigla assigned by the Leiden Peshitta Institute (OT mss.) or the Münster Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung (NT mss.) have been added in parentheses. For a general overview of the major collections of Syriac manuscripts and for the whereabouts of collections and manuscripts, see J. F. Coakley's Manuscripts entry, and, in greater detail, A. Desreumaux, Répertoire des bibliothèques et des catalogues de manuscrits syriaques (1991). Not included in the present index are: inscriptions, Old Syriac documents, papyri, Sogdian manuscripts, Syriac texts from Turfan. For these, see the relevant entries. Unpublished manuscripts of works by modern and present-day authors are also not included.
