Palaeography
Hand 1
Script: Ethiopic
Late fourteenth/early fifteenth-century.
Ink: Black; reddish-brown.
Rubrication: Nomina sacra; names of the donors; a few lines in the incipit of each text, alternating with black lines; sometimes the first line of the account proper; Ethiopic numerals or their elements; elements of the punctuation signs and of the crux ansata.
Careful and regular; by a well-trained scribe. Broad script. Downstrokes are right-sloping, tops are slightly inclined to the left (cp. the letters ወ, መ, ሠ). Mostly rounded letter shapes. Thick downstrokes, thin horizontal strokes. “Feet” of the letters are finely shaped, end with a short thin line directed to the right. ሎ has sometimes the 7th order marker attached directly at the body of the letter, without the linking line (check the viewer1va l.11); መ has the loops not separated, the top slightly slanted to the left; መ and ዐ have angular shapes; ኴ has the loop marking the 5th order open (check the viewer15rb l.13). The numerals are written in red without dashes above and below (e.g., check the viewer14ra l.1, check the viewer18vb, , check the viewer21va, ), or in black with red and black dashes above and below (e.g., check the viewer40ra l.15, check the viewer104ra l.7). The shape of ፬ is triangular and oriented downwards (e.g., check the viewer89rb l.11); ፮ has the loop open, looking like “compressed” ፯ (e.g., check the viewer119vb ); ፴ has the ancient shape (e.g., check the viewer3vb ). The same scribe probably wrote Mss. MY-002 and MY-008.Select one of the keywords listed from the record to see related data
