Origin
Original Location: Māy ʾAnbasā Dabra Gannat Kidāna Mǝḥrat↗
Second half of the 18th century. Quire I (check the viewer1r-2v ) is of somewhat later time. It cannot be excluded that quires II-V were originally a part of a different Ms. (containing a collection of hymns? Cp. quire marks starting with 11) which had been dismantled. The beginning of Text I written as Additio 1 was meant to substitute for the initial portion of the text which went lost. Still later (?), the same portion of the text was written on check the viewer2v , a part of another added bifolio.Provenance
Walātta Kidān is mentioned in supplication formulas on check the viewer23rb , 29vb, 31rb, 31va, 32rb.
