Description
Summary:This study focuses on two Christian-Palestinian Aramaic parchment folios from the Monastery of St Catherine in Sinai, which were published by Pavel Kokowzoff in 1906. The fragments are currently in the possession of the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg (Siriyskaya novaya seriya no. 21). They contain the end of a sermon on penitence attributed to Ephrem the Syrian and the beginning of a previously unidentified text introduced as the ‘Doctrine of the Egyptian Fathers’. The article provides a paleographical and codicological examination of the St Petersburg fragments and identifies the second text as a portion from Logos XV of Isaiah of Scetis.
