Before leaving England in the summer of 1911 to resume his post in the Ceylon Civil Service, Mr II. W. Codrington left in my keeping several manuscript books containing transcripts made by him of a number of Syriac liturgical documents, most of which arc concerned with the rites of the Syrian Jacobites. Being unable himself to undertake an edition of any part of them, owing to enforced absence from England, and there being no time (before his departure for us to arrange the preliminaries of:a joint publication, Mr Codrington generously left his transcripts in my hands to make what use of them I pleased. In accepting this kind offer I made the request that, in the event of my publishing a selection of the documents, he would allow his name to appear on the title-page, as an acknowledgment of his really integral part in the work. To this Mr Codrington consented. The extent to which I am cndebted to MrC odrington stranscripts in this volume will be stated more exactly in the I ntroduction. My own part in its production is, shortly, that of editor and translator. I alone am responsible for the ac curacy of the edition of the Syriac texts, since I have had access to the original manuscripts of all the pieces except the last, and in the case of this I have procured the collation of a second manuscript. I am responsible also for the translations throughout, for all textual or other notes, and for the I ntroduction.
