Abstract :
Publication of the parchment manuscript MS Or. 1699G in the Cambridge University Library. The hand and dimensions of this manuscript are the basis for identifying the piece as a leaf from one of the three known copies of Shenute's Fourth Canon, which is the fourth in a series of nine volumes devoted to admonitions and instructions for monastic living. The author gives a description of the manuscript and tries to identify the codex to which this page belonged, but this is not without problems. The manuscript is photographically reproduced, the text is given in transcription and is translated. A word index completes the edition.
