State of preservation
good
Condition
The front board is broken and repaired. Only a part of the leather covering has been preserved (outer surface of the back board, turn-ins). The boards and leather cover show damages made by insects. Some of the leaves are affected by humidity, discoulored; some are cockled. Some text passages are difficult to read (e.g., on folia 1rv not found in this file 2r not found in this file 3rv not found in this file 4rv not found in this file 137rv not found in this file 138rv not found in this file 139r not found in this file 170v not found in this file 171r not found in this file). Holes are in many folia (e.g. in 15 not found in this file 27 not found in this file 44 not found in this file 148 not found in this file 149 not found in this file), some crudely amended on 56 not found in this file 67 not found in this file 92 not found in this file 180 not found in this file). The manuscript hardly shows any traces of use. no
Binding
Two wooden boards, of somewhat irregular shape, covered with thick reddish-brown leather, for the most part missing. The remaining cover bears poorly visible, crude blind-tooled ornament (crossing single lines). The partly preserved turn-ins are wide, poorly shaped, with traces of crude blind tooling still discernable (single lines). Two pairs of sewing stations. The boards have multiple additional holes at the edges. The stitch-chains on the spine are not parallel to each other and not perpendicular to the folds of the quires.

Palaeography
Hand 1
Script: Ethiopic
Fifteenth-century, possibly its second half.
Ink: Black; red.
Rubrication: Divine names; three or four lines in the beginning of each text, alternating with black lines (in one or both columns; only one line in text Content Item 1.17 , item 1 Acts of Thomas, V (on the woman who was slain in a shop) (CAe 4848) , check the viewerfols. 76va, ); sometimes the initial three lines of the account proper (but only one line on check the viewerfols. 109va, ); Ethiopic numerals (e.g., check the viewerfol. 92rb ) or their elements (horizontal dashes above and below); elements of the punctuation signs and of the crux ansata. Rubrication is executed in the main hand, after the main text was copied.
Very irregular, but apparently by a skilled scribe. Downstrokes are right-sloping, tops are strongly inclined to the left (esp. ወ, መ, ሠ, and others); both slant and inclination are not uniform. Both rounded (e.g., ሰ, በ, ወ) and angular shapes (e.g., መ, ዐ) are attested. “Feet” of the letters end with a short thin line directed to the right. ሎ has the 7th order marker set up at the top, not in the middle, a few times it appears attached directly at the at the body of the letter, without a horizontal stroke (e.g., check the viewerfols. 103vb, ); the loops of መ show a tendency to separation; ጵ has the 6th-order marker set up on the vertical stroke at the top, oriented to the left (e.g., check the viewer26va, , check the viewer83rb ). The numerals are written with dashes above and below; ፲ appears occasionally in the rare form “with the ring” (check the viewer42vb ); ፬ is triangular and oriented downwards; ፮ has the loop open, looking like compressed ፯ (e.g., check the viewer114rb ). In nearly each text, the scribe omitted the word divider (፡) between the first two words of the introductory formula. The letters ለ and ላ, በ and ባ, ካ and ከ are frequently barely distinguishable.Hand 2
Script: Ethiopic
Fifteenth-century square script.
Ink: Black (a slightly different hue from what Hand h1 has used); red.
Rubrication: Elements of the punctuation signs; numerals. Rubrication is executed in the same hand, after the main text was copied
check the viewerfol. 54va lines 11-27, 54vb, lines 13-24 check the viewerfol. 92ra lines 16-28, 92rb, lines 1-7 Fine, regular; by a skilled scribe. Only two small passages are written by a hand that appears very similar to Hand h1 , and differs mainly due to the high quality of execution. The size of the handwriting is slightly smaller that that of Hand h1 .More bibliography
