General description
One of the major canonico-liturgical works of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. As with other works of the same genre, the purpose of the T.D. is to establish upon the basis of a pseudo-epigraphical authority – in this case, Jesus Christ↗ in person – rules and prescriptions for the right organization of the Church and Christian practice.
The T.D. consists of 60 chapters and is clearly subdivided into two parts. Chapter 22 circulates independently as Tǝmhǝrta ḫǝbuʾāt, chapter 37 as Kidān za-nagh. The text of ʾAkkʷateta qʷǝrbān za-ʾǝgziʾǝna ʾIyasus Krǝstos is also part of T.D.

Creation
Date: After500
The work, one of the last products of the pseudo-apostolic literature, was originally composed in Greek in the 5th cent. The almost totally lost Greek original is attested by three integral versions in Syriac, Arabic, and Gǝʿǝz, plus a few Latin and Georgian fragments, and the widely attested Coptic version of the Mystagogy. See ‘Testamentum Domini’, EAe, IV (2010), 927a–928b (A. Bausi).
