Note by Eduard Rüppell on the first guard leaf.
( de ) Lik Atkum jetzo (1833) 59 Jahre alt, ist der Enkel von Tackla Haimanot , einem der erblichen Grossorden-Träger des Abyssinischen Reichs, der das Buch eines königlichen Chronikschreibers hatte, als sich Bruce in Abyssinien aufhielt, und welcher letzterem specielle Dienste erwiesen hat. Auch ich habe grosse Verbindlichkeiten gegen den Enkel dieses Tackla Haimanot , und dazu gehört namentlich, dass er auf mein Ersuchen aus allen historischen Werken, die sich in den verschiedenen Kirchen und Privathäusern von Gondar↗ befinden, für mich gegenwärtigen Band einer ziemlich ausführlichen Abyssinischen Geschichte kompilieren liess. Zu bemerken ist, dass für die Geschichte mit dem Tode des Kaisers Tackla Haimanot (1777) bis zum Jahr 1809 beinahe ausschliesslich meine grosse Chronik von Dgusmati Hailu benutzt wurden. Die Geschichtserzählung von jener Zeit bis zum Jahre 1833, die bis meiner Abreise von Gondar im Mai 1833 noch nicht niedergeschrieben war, schickte mir Lik Atkum durch einen meiner zu diesem Endzweck in Gondar zurückgelassenen Diener nach Europa nach.
