Material:
parchment
Format:
Non digital + Digital, reformatted digital
Script:
ff. 1r–146v, 148r–197v This expert and consistent hand writes a Perlschrift of small modules and fast ductus, typical of the monastic production of the late tenth or early eleventh century. The oblique strokes of Kappas, Chis and Lambdas produce an angular effect and impress a movement to the right, though the letters are not themselves visibly slanted. The vertical stroke of Kappa has a small hook when the letter is enlarged in the margin. Although the writing is relaxed, no excesses are present. f. 147r A later addition on a separately inserted leaf. The hand is, according to Stig Yngve Rudberg, datable to the fourteenth century.
Collation:
Endleaves: IIf.iii IIf.iii’ Q1–1717.IVf.136 + Q18(VI-1ante f.137+1f.147)f.148 + Q19–234.IVf.188 + Q24(IV+1f.197+1f.198)f.198 After ff. 42r–42v there are two stubs of fine parchment. ff. 147r–147v is an independent leaf, a makeshift insertion tacked in with the help of a couple of knots. The last two leaves in the volume are pasted to the preceding quaternion.
Foliation:
Modern foliation in pencil in the lower right margin: 1–198. There is an older foliation in ink in the upper right margin of the rectos, which is unreliable (folios 11, 19, 45, 135, and 146 skipped; numbers 78 and 118 not used; two leaves carry the same number 108): 1–194.
Signatures:
Generally in the upper right margin of first recto and the lower right margin of last verso, beginning with βʹ on f. 16v and ending with κδʹ on f. 189r. Some of the signatures, especially on recto pages, have been trimmed out. The signatures are marked by a short horizontal stroke above the letter, and appear to be written in the same colour as the ink of the text.
Support:
Endleaves
ff. LCI, SL1r–SL3v, SR1r–SR3v, RCI Western paper (155 × 125 mm) (Quarto folding)
Bookblock
ff. 1r–198v Parchment (150/155 × 125 mm) (Quarto folding )
Watermark:
Watermark 1. ff. SL1/SL2/SR1/RCI, Three circles; the upper one crowned and encircling a cross; in the second circle the letters BM; in the third perhaps the letter S
Layout:
ff. 1r–146v, 148r–198v ruling pattern identical with Sautel no. 20D1. Written area: 120 × 95 mm f. 147r Written area: 140 × 95 mm
Condition:
Water damage to top right corner of the first two quires, especially at ff. 5r–9v where the text is erased in that part; worming of the first and last leaf of the volume. The lower corner of ff. 42r–42v has been ripped diagonally, with loss of text.
Notes
Ownership:
It was brought from Byzantine/Turkish territory to Italy (presumably Venice?) and then, in 1570–1571 to Spain. According to an inventory preserved in the Archivo de Simancas, the Greek copyist and manuscript dealer Andreas Darmarios sold a collection of nineteen manuscripts to Philip II King of Spain in 1571. One of the items in the inventory is described as ‘El gran Athanasio de la Vida de Sancta Tecla... es libro raro, pero de letra tan antigua que en algunas partes no se dexa leer’ (Revilla (1936) p. XXXVIII.). The volume thus described is in fact the same one that eventually ended up in Uppsala, as shown by Stig Yngve Rudberg (Rudberg (1952) pp. 64–69.). During its stay in El Escorial it served as the protograph of Scorialensis Psi. I. 3., a copy executed by Nicholas de la Torre and still present in El Escorial. It was also used in 1620 by David Colville for his translation of Vita St. Syncletici into Latin. Our volume remained in the Spanish Royal library up until the great fire in 1671, when it was thought lost. Nevertheless, it must have remained in Spain, since eighteen years later it was acquired by Johan Gabriel Sparwenfeldt, and brought to Sweden.
Acquisition:
Came to Uppsala University Library as part of the Sparwenfeldt donation in 1705.

Book binding
Binding:
Yellowish parchment laced-case binding without boards. Sewn on three supports. Endbands oversewn with hemp cord; endband cores laced through. Gilt edges. Cover extensions and two pairs of alum-tawed ties at foredge. On the foredge one may with difficulty read the binding title ‘ΑΘΑΝΑΣ’ and a number ‘3’.
Binding dimensions: 165 × 130 × 50 mm
The binding is probably of late seventeenth century Spanish origin.
Decoration
Rubrics are written in brown ink but written over with red ink, forming a kind of characteristic halo (similar to yellow spalmature in Southern Italian mss). Subtitles (or other division headings) are numerous. Simple dividers, such as a dot-filled line, sometimes combined with crosses, further mark the text divisions. Initials are simple enlarged majuscules, sometimes in red.
