Palaeography
Hand 1
Scribe: Qasis ʿAmda Mikāʾel scribe
Script: Ethiopic
MediocreThe handwriting is characterized by thick, broadly spaced and slightly right-sloping letters. The script changes the quality: on check the viewer1ra-17rb , the lines are more and the letters are smaller, shorter and less spaced. Some ancient features: - ፮ has the loop open, looking like number ፯ (fol. 33rb); - ፲ appears occasionally in the form with a ring attached to the right side through a horizontal stroke (fols. 44ra, 44ra, 44rb). Cp. AP-046 (fol. 77ra).
Ink: Black; red (brilliant vermillion).
Rubrication: Holy names; the names of the Trinity; the name of the commissioner and of his wife. A few lines alternating with black lines in the incipit page of Text II; the exhortation sǝmʿu… in Text I (fols. 9va, 10ra); incipit of each miracle (Text II). Elements of the punctuation signs; Ethiopic numerals or their elements; elements of the text dividers.
Date: First half of the 18th century
