Codex Ephraemi Syri rescriptus is an important, but due to its dilapidated condition rather neglected, textual witness of the Septuagint. This article dwells on the damage pattern of the manuscript and identifies the application of the so-called Giobert Tincture as its cause. However, modern fluorescence photography allows new collations of the manuscript despite its heavy damage. As for Ecclesiastes, there are 14 new or improved readings, compared with Tischendorf's edition of 1845. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
