The colophon indicates that the Ms. was completed on the 14th year after the coronation of King Bakāffā, but he ruled only 9 years (1721-30); it contains also two other dates which appear to be incorrect. Despite the information in the colophon, the script does not look so old palaeographically. The Ms. may date into a later period, second half of the 19th cent. The binding (boards covered with tooled leather) appears to be older than the text block. The Ms. (and the colophon) may be a copy of another 18th-cent. Ms. of Hāymānot ʾabaw.Provenance

It was commenced in the month of Sane and was completed in the month of Maskaram, in the year of Luke the Evangelist, in 7139 year of mercy I, the poor priest ... has written this book in great toil and labor by the will of God and the help of St Michael so that it might be salvation for the soul, for the sake of love to the Jacobites. When I aspire for the Orthodox faith to accomplish this book, it is to make remember us always both who reads and interprets it. And may He write my children in the letter of the beloved. May He engrave their name on gate of a wall. So that congregation of heaven and earth will read it. Every day with the peace of God, the glorious. Amen and Amen. So be it. So be it.
