Codex Ambrosianus C. 313 Inf.

The Codex Ambrosianus C. 313 Inf. (also TM 117847, LDAB 117847) is a Syro-Hexaplar manuscript in parchment form the late eight or early ninth-century.[1][2]

This manuscript contains books from Psalms to Daniel, comprising half of the Old Testament.[2] Andreas Masius reported that the first part of the manuscript, which contained the Pentateuch and the Historical Books, was present at first, but it was lost.[3] The preserved portion contains the books in this order: Pss, Job, Prov, Qoh, Cant, Wis, Sir, MinP, Jer, Bar, Lam, Ep Jer, Dan (with Greek additions: Sus, Bel), Ezek and Isa.[3] This manuscript has been important for the reconstruction of the fifth column of the Origen's Hexapla.[4]

The manuscript has no colophon and is written in Estrangela script.[5] According to Frank E. Shaw, the name of God Iαω consistently renders the Syriac yod-aleph-waw.[6]

A potholithographic edition was published in 1874 by Antonio Maria Ceriani in Codex Syro-Hexaparis Ambrosianus potholithographice editus,[7][8][9] and currently is at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.
