3Found through the St Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society's page "Manuscripts of Christian Egypt Online", whose own label for it is "Ms.Or.Oct.408: Apocalypse, Sah" (orthography/MANUSCRIPT_COLLECTIONS_items.tsv, W7x 2026-09-18).
4251 page image(s) at 1500 px, 50,362,935 bytes on disk at the path in the `# file:` header; the manifest has 251 canvases. Per-page SHA-256 in pages.tsv beside them.
5THE PAGE IMAGES ARE NOT IN THIS REPOSITORY. This document is a provenance stub (kind = manuscript): the scans are staged under Coptic OCR/corpus/incoming/, with the licence as fetched, the manifest and the SHA-256 inventory in the README beside them. Nothing here has been OCR'd, transliterated or translated, so there is no L0 text of the manuscript, no L1 and no L2 — only this record of what it is and where it is.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
