Hand 1
Script: Ethiopic
Written in a mediocre handwriting.
Ink: Black, red
Rubrication: Nomina sacra; numbers and titles of the psalms and the canticles; the crux ansata.
Date: 15th century
15th century Some paleographic features: ሎ has the loop marking the 7th order attached directly to the body of the letter, without the linking line; the bodies of some letters, e.g. የ, ደ, ጸ, and the upper loop of ቆ and ቶ, have a triangular shape; numerals are written without dashes; the crux ansata is seldom used in the right margin in correspondence of the beginning of the psalms.More bibliography
