Second half of the 18th centuryAbbreviations
Hand 2
Script: Ethiopic
The handwriting changes from careful and neat at the very beginning (quire I) to mediocre (quires II-XII). It appears irregular throughout the Ms. due to variations in ruling (space between the lines differs: e.g., check the viewer43r ; slant writing lines: e.g., check the viewer16rv , 17rv, 19rv, 36rv); broad, irregularly spaced and shaped letters (e.g., check the viewer26ra , 34vab, 49vb); form of 'six' ፮, looking like "compressed" number 'seven'.Hand 3
Script: Ethiopic
Hand 4
Script: Ethiopic
The handwriting is similar to that of the scribe Zawalda Māryām (see e.g., QSM-001 [1745], QSM-007 [1745], MR-008 [1770-1775], UM-042 [1760-1800].More bibliography
