* Budge was in Mosul from 16 January to 26 February 1889. The manuscript was probably copied some time between 13 March 1889 (the start of the Ottoman fiscal year 1305) and 12 October 1889 (the last day of the Seleucid ‘year of the Greeks’ AG 2200). The Moslem religious year AH 1305 ended in September 1888, before Budge arrived in Mosul.

* Parry refers to the Menhal el-Awliya, an Arabic history of Mosul written in 1787 by Mohammed Emin b. Khairallah el-Omari. Jeremiah Shamir sent an extract from this manuscript dealing with Sheikh Adi and the Yezidis to Professor Sachau for the Berlin library in 1883.9

* See pp. 8–9. Another modern namesake of this saint was A. I. Mikoyan, born in Sanahin (northern Armenia) in 1895, who later became chairman of the presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

* In 1892 Jeremiah Shamir told Alpheus Andrus that the Jelwa, ‘wrapped in linen and silk wrappings, is kept in the house of Mulla Haidar’. The Meshaf Resh was kept in the house of the chief of the Yezidi village of Qasr-i-Yazdin (40 miles north of Mosul), where ‘the book rests upon a throne, having over it a thin covering of red broadcloth, of linen, and other wrappings. Then is disclosed the binding, which is of wood’.24

* The term ‘Assyrian’ appears in various references to Isya Joseph. In his own words, he was ‘born... of Assyrian parents, belonging to the Syriac church which traces its origin to the Christian community of Antioch’27 (i.e. his family were Jacobites).

* See pp. 7–9 for information on this Jacobite contemporary of St Anastasius the Persian.
