An Arabic Christian manuscript of the Acts of the Holy Apostles, transmitted under the traditional attribution to Luke the Evangelist. The work is identified as "al-Ibraksis" (from Greek "Práxeis"), the established Eastern Christian designation for the Acts, and reflects the reception of this text within the Arabic-speaking Christian communities of Ottoman Syria.

The manuscript is dated according to the Byzantine Anno Mundi system to "the year 7184 since the creation of Adam", corresponding to 1675/76 CE. Bilingual ownership stamps on the opening leaf record its presence in an Aleppine library, and its later inclusion in the collection of Georges Antakis, a documented Aleppine collector of Arabic Christian manuscripts, establishes a localized and traceable line of transmission into the modern period.

The manuscript constitutes an important witness to the Arabic Christian transmission of the Acts of the Apostles in early modern Aleppo, reflecting exegetical use and communal instruction within local Christian circles.
