Writing and Reading Greek on the Pages of Arabic Translations of Byzantine Christian Classics

This chapter examines Greek annotations appearing in Arabic manuscripts containing translations of Christian texts from Greek into Arabic produced by the eleventh-century Byzantine Christian deacon and theologian ʿAbdallāh ibn al-Faḍl al-Anṭākī. In particular, it focuses on glosses of Arabic transliterations or translations of Arabic words; lemmas and other aids to the reader; and scribes’ and readers’ notes and subscriptions.
