Hand 2
Script: Ethiopic
It is difficult to determine whether more than one scribe was involved in writing. Certain features of some letters appear different throughout the Ms., cp. e.g., fols. 7 or 45 with 98 or 118; in the second part of the Ms. ል has got a long top end, አ and its derivations have a lack of connection between the main shift and the limb; the vowel marker of ሎ is placed close to the top of the letter.Hand 3
Script: Ethiopic
The handwriting is very similar but not identical to the hand of QS-013 and of the Synaxarion from the church of ʿArbaʿtu Ǝnsäsa, ʿArabay Tämben.Select one of the keywords listed from the record to see related data
