Greek Manuscripts	18.4 Evangelistarion 11th c. Simonopetra Monastery, Cod. 124 Parchment bifolium, 32 x 24.5 cm
	As was pointed out in the introductory note, the collection at the Simonopetra Monastery was completely destroyed by fire in 1891. In recent decades, after a great deal of effort, some 140 manuscripts have been gathered at the monastery from its dependencies. Of these, the only one of parchment is this bifolium from a manuscript containing Gospel readings (= Evangelistarion); the fragment formed folios 4 and 5 of a quaternion, judging by the continuous text, which consists of Gospel extracts for the Orthros on Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:1-11, 15-17) and the Divine Liturgy on the same day (John 12:1-18). Script. Perlschrift type. Decoration. A multicoloured Π at the beginning of the Gospel for the Divine Liturgy. Red-gold initial letters, notes inscribed in red ink, and a red-gold inscription on fol. 1v. Note. Fine parchment, singed at the bottom margin near the corner.
	Bibliography: Sotiroudis 1994, pp. 228-9.
