The time frame here would be 1645 through 1657. These dates actually fit quite well with the paleography of the manuscript. But, throughout the manuscript King Takla Haymanot is mentioned. The closest emperor by that name, Takla Haymanot I, reigned 1706–08. The dates of the only other Emperor Takla Haymanot are even later, between 1769 and 77.
