This is a very rare Syriac manuscript on Rikin Al Kiddas ( Holy Power) acquired from Turkey. It is written in Syriac Serto script. This manuscript I believe is dated but I could not read the script nor understand it. However there is a note written in Arabic "sanah 132" means year 132. Hence I believe this manuscript is dated 1132 CE.
There is also a note written in Arabic that this manuscript was purchased by Abraham Ben Jacob.
