Title of the (entire) work

See, for example, in the manuscripts with the Revelation of John, the wording like ዝየ᎓ ተፈጸመ᎓ ራእየ᎓ ዮሐንስ᎓ አቡቀለምሲስ᎓ ዘውእቱ᎓ በሕይወቱ᎓ ራእይ᎓ ብሂል᎓ e.g. Saint Petersburg, Institut Vostočnyh Rukopisej Rossijskoj Akademii Nauk, IV Suhtelen 252, content item 1.2

            <msItem xml:id="ms_i1.2">

              <explicit xml:lang="gez"> ዝየ᎓ ተፈጸመ᎓ ራእየ᎓ ዮሐንስ᎓ አቡቀለምሲስ᎓ ዘውእቱ᎓ ብሂል᎓ ዘርእየ᎓ በሕይወቱ᎓ ራእየ፨

This could have been added in a div in the transcription as well. Note that in this case the encode has added no @type in <incipit>↗ or <explicit>↗. <seg>↗ or <title>↗ may be used inside these elements to markup the exact portion of the incipit of explicit which is an inscription or subscription, for example, either here or in the transcription as in the example above.

Other examples of short colophons can be found at the end of some of the Old Testament books (esp. Octateuch). Cp. AQG-008, Octateuch: ተፈጸመ᎓ ኦሪት᎓ ዘፀአት; ኦሪት᎓ ዘሌዋዊያን᎓ ተፈጸመ᎓ , etc. or at the end of Aksumite collection (UM-039), Bausi 2016, 240. Cp. DD-042, Zena Ayhud, f. 158r-v ተፈጸመ፡ መጽሐፈ፡ ዮሴፍ፡ ወልደ፡ ከርዮን፡ ካህን፡ ዘያየድዕ፡ ዜና፡ አይሁድ፡ ውስተ፡ ቤት፡ ዳግማዊ። ወዝክረ፡ ነገሥቶሙ፡ ወነገር፡ ዘኮነ፡ በመዋዕሊሆሙ፡ እም፡ አመ፡ ሕንጸተ፡ ቤት፡ ዳግማዊ፡ ወግአቶሙ፡ ኀቤሁ፡ እስከ፡ ተነሥተ፡ ወተፄወው፡ እምኔሁ። ስብሐት፡ ወአኰቴት። ዝማሬ፡ ወዕበይ፡ ስጊድ፡ ወክብር። ግናይ፡ ወውዳሴ፡ ክብር: ለእግዚአብሔር፡ ክቡር፡ ወልዑል። እስከ፡ ለዓለመ፡ ዓለም። ወለትውልደ፡ ትውልድ፡ ዘኢየሐልቅ፡ አሜን። ወአሜን፡ለይኩን፡ ለይኩ

This could be reproduced in the manuscript transcription using a <div>↗ with <subtype>↗ having the values title, embedded and subscription, but would need to be in the manuscript transcription, not in the work because the fact it is embedded hints at the fact that it is not a constant of the tradition of this text.

In a few cases the colophon of the work is extensive, e.g., in the Vita of Takla Hāymānot.

Title of a work which is part of a collection

The identification of this type of title depends on how the structure of the work in question is understood. However this level of interpretation will be encoded as well, so that the position of the information will be enough to provide the information about the fact that a title regards only a part: it will be nested into it, either as a <div>↗ or a <msItem>↗.

An example of this can be UM-018, f. 18vb, followed by a supplication; f. 37rb; possibly with a date, f. 56rb; 77vb, followed by a subscription; possibly f. 88va; f. 123va; possibly f. 241b; f. 252vb. In MGM-013, the Vita of Gabra Manfas Qeddus and the Miracles each has a colophon, f. 52va ተፈጸመ፡ በዝየ፡ ገድለ፡ አቡነ፡ …; f. 68va, ተፈጸመ፡ በዝየ፡ ተአምረ፡ አቡነ፡ ገብረ፡ …. Bausi 2016, 253–54, for the Ethiopic Apocalypse of Peter (The last two lines ለዛቲ᎓ መጽሐፍ᎓ ዘአጽሐፋ᎓ … can be considered also as a separate unit, a commissioner note or supplication for the commissioner).

Title of a part of the work

The identification of this type of title depends on how the structure of the work in question is understood. However this level of interpretation will be encoded as well, so that the position of the information will be enough to provide the information about the fact that a title regards only a part: it will be nested into a <div>↗.

AM-002, Sinodos, f. 40vb ተፈጸመ᎓ ተፈሥሑ᎓ ቀዳሜ᎓ ብሔር᎓; f. 68rb: ተፈጸመ᎓ ኃምስ᎓ ብሔር᎓ etc. Aksumite collection (UM-039), e.g., f. 117/46rb ተፈጸመ᎓ ሥርዓተ᎓ ጥምቀት᎓; f. 61/134 ተፈጸመት᎓ እንተ᎓ በከልቂዶን᎓ etc. Nearly all copies of the Synaxarion have these colophons, always at the end of the part for each month. Cp. SDM-008.

Title of the translation of the entire work

The identification of this type of title depends on how the structure of the work in question is understood.

Nearly all copies of Maṣḥafa krǝstǝnnā (sometimes it is preceded by the colophon of the work), see, e.g., DZ-011, f. 47rb; MR-039, f. 36rb. Nearly all copies of Aragāwi manfasāwi (sometimes followed by the colophon of the manuscript), cp. MAKM-012, GKM-001. DD-015, Maṣḥafa ḥāwi, f. 12r, refers to the beginning and the end of the translation. Bausi 2016, 249–50: the colophon of the Kebra nagast. DD-012, Commentaries on the Epistle of John, f. 315vb: ተፈጸመ፡ በረድኤተ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ልዑል፡ ወሀብተ፡ ጸገሁ፡ ወስብሀቲሁ፡ ትርጓሜ፡ አቡነ፡ ዓቢይ፡ በውስተ፡ ቅዱሳን፡ ዮሐንስ፡ አፈ፡ ወርቅ፡ መልእክተ፡ ጳውሎስ፡ ሐዋርያ፡ ኀበ፡ ሰብአ፡ ዕብራውያን፡ ጸሎቶሙ፡ ወበረከቶሙ፡ ወሀብተ፡ ረድኤቶሙ፡ የሀሉ፡ ምስለ፡ ገብሮሙ፡ ዝክረ፡ ማርያም። ተተርጐመት፡ እምልሳነ፡ ዓረብ፡ ለግዕዝ፡ በአፈ፡ ዕንባቆም፡ ወሚካኤል፡ በ፸፻፲ወ፭ዓመተ፡ ምሕረት። ወእምልደተ፡ ክርስቶስ፡ እግዚእነ፡ ወመድኃኒነ፡ በ፲፻ወ፭፻ዓመት። ወእምዓመተ፡ ሰማዕታትኒ፡ በ፲፻ወ፪፻፴ወ፱ዓመት፡ ወፍፃሜኒ፡ ኮነ፡ በዕለተ፡ ሰኑይ፡ በወርኃ፡ ነሐሴ፡ አሜን።

Only bare titles of a work given in its text or in manuscript descriptions

In the files of the work and of related manuscripts and parts or container of that work, with the manuscripts where those are contained, look for <titles>↗, <explicit>↗, <incipit>↗, <colophon>↗, <div>↗ and <seg>↗ which do NOT have the value extended for @type or @subtype.

All types of colophons/titles referring to a work

In the files of the work and of manuscripts where it is contained look for any of the element discussed with at least one of the values discussed, (eventually could be expanded to include all).

All translation colophons/titles

Take any of the above elements with @type or @subtype with value 'translation'

All translation colophons/titles in a subscription

Take any of the above elements with @type or @subtype with value 'translation' and value 'subscription'.

In the case of <explicit>↗ take it also if it does not have @subtype equal to subscription.
