Caption title.

The Houghton Library copy breaks off at p. 98; the rest, including the preliminaries, may not have been printed, following Marcel's dismissal from the direction of the Imprimerie nationale.

The anonymous writer refers to Marcel's polyglot edition of the Lord's Prayer as "nostra editio" (p.93) and to the 49th volume of the "Commentariorum Regiae Inscriptionum et Litterarum Academiae" (1808) (p. 94); presumably written after the restoration of the monarchy in 1815.

Texts in Samaritan, some with Hebrew transliterations.
