language with glossaries in Italo-Latin, Persian and Cuman II) a mixed
collection of religious texts, linguistic data and folkloric materials ( the
Cuman riddles), stemming from a number of hands, with translations into Latin
and a dialect of Eastern Middle High German. The original copy of the Codex
