Original Location: No item: INS0194THRM↗
The colophon refers to the date 334 year of mercy (= 1682 A.D.) and to the 15th year of the reign of King Yoḥannǝs I (r. 1667-1682), which is 1682 A.D.Provenance
Bäträ Wängel (s. the colophon) appears to be the original donor or commissioner; the name of another person, Bǝʾǝdä [sic for Bäʾǝdä] Māryām, is written over an erasure in pen, in a recent hand. The colophon mentions Māryām Tabor as the church to which the Ms. was donated.
