Hand 1
of codicological unit 1Script: Ethiopic
Date: 1600-1699 according to Stefan Strelcyn
Careful handwriting in different hands, similar to each other and probably belonging to the same scriptorium. The names of five scribes (Takla Māryām scribe , Bagadda Ṣǝyon scribe , Lāʾǝka Māryām scribe , Tanśǝʾa Krǝstos scribe and Ṣǝge Hāymānot scribe ) are probably mentioned in subscriptions, mainly on pages where a new month begins. 1600-1699 according to Stefan StrelcynCodicological Unit p2

Contents
check the viewerFols 160r–174v Ḥassāba ḥǝgg (CAe 6957) Calendar of movable feasts based on the great lunar cycle of 532 years. The years are numbered from 1 to 533 (sic), because the scribe has omitted no. 384 by mistake and no. 385 follows directly after no. 383 (cf. check the viewerFol. 164r ). The tables begin with the year 227 , which is the 18th year of the short lunar cycle, corresponds to the year 1262 AM , as the tārik says: በዝንቱ፡ ነግሠ፡ ይኩኖ፡ አምላክ፡ 'this (year) Yǝkuno ʾAmlāk became king'. For each year the following data are given: the day of the week corresponding to the new moon of maskaram (this is the ṭǝntyon expressed here by the name of the day and not, as usually, in numbers), the name of the Evangelist of the year, the epact, the date of the beginning of Lent (በአተ፡ ጾም፡), the date of Passover (ፍሥሕ፡), of Easter (ፋሲካ፡), and of Pentecost (በዐለ፡ ሃምሳ፡). The first year (no. 227) contains the following points: ዐርብ፡ ሠረቀ፡ መስከረም። ወንጌላዊ፡ ሉቃስ። አበቅቴ፡ ሰብዓቱ። ዓሡሩ፡ ወሐሙሱ፡ ለየካቲት፡ በአተ፡ ጾም። እምሠሉሱ፡ ለሚያዝያ፡ ፍሥሕ። አመ፡ ዓሡሩ፡ ለሚያዝያ፡ ፋሲካ። ዕሥራ፡ ወተሡዑ፡ ለግንቦት፡ በዓለ፡ ሃምሳ። Different chronological indications are added to several years: those concerning the lunar cycle (አውደ፡ ቀመር፡) of 19 years, the solar cycle (ዓውደ፡ ፀሐይ፡) of 28 years, and the cycle of 76 years (ማኅተም፡). More then 120 historical notes (ታሪክ፡) are added to the different chronographical indications.
