Origin
Original Location: Qalāqǝl Māryām Ṣǝyon↗
18th cent. (?) The name of the king has been erased from the colophon.Provenance
The name of the original commissioner has been erased from the supplication formulas. However, on check the viewer120ra and in the colophon, his name can still be decipherable as Walda Giyorgis. In the supplication formula on check the viewer42ra , the first part of his name (Walda) has not been erased; the same, on some folios (e.g., check the viewer42va , 42vc), where the last letter of his second name (-s) still remains. In some supplication formulas his name has been replaced with the name of Za-Manfas Qǝddus (e.g., check the viewer2ra , 5rb, 13vb, 57ra), written in red probably in a different hand. Za-Manfas Qǝddus is the baptismal name of daǧǧāzmāč Subāgādis (1770-1831). In the supplication formula on check the viewer42ra , the name Lǝʿul is written over erasure.

State of preservation
deficient
Condition
The Ms. was rebound. The leather covering is probably more recent then the boards, on which there are remains of another and more ancient leather. Outer layers of the original leather covering (?) are separated from the boards and loosely placed between the front board and first folio and the back board and the last folio. Most of the fols. are worn and affected by humidity. Stains on several fols. (e.g., check the viewer5r , 39r, 71v, 71r, 89v, 90r, 197v, 198r). Holes or tears amended on some fols. (e.g. check the viewer37 , 53, 54, 70, 100, 143).
Binding
Two wooden boards covered with reddish-brown tooled leather. Two pairs of sewing stations.

Palaeography
Hand 1
Script: Ethiopic
Fine, regular. (The handwriting is fine, with rounded and slightly right sloping letters.)The x-cross with dashes is used several times, after the books titles and the incipits of the hours sections (e.g., check the viewer73va , 76vc).Sometimes, the numerals are with several dashes above and below (e.g., check the viewer2ra , 90rb, 95vb). Some distinctive and/or archaic features: - ጵ has the 6th order marker set up on the vertical stroke at the top, directed to the left (e.g., check the viewer2rb l.15, 95ra l.10) - sometimes, the tops of some letters (e.g., መ ሠ ወ በ) are slightly slanted to the left - ፮ is with the loop open, looking like “compressed” ፯ (e.g., check the viewer121rc and quire mark on check the viewer48v ).
Ink: Black; red (brilliant red).
Rubrication: Holy names; name of the commissioner and of the individual replacing him over erasure. A few lines alternating with black lines in the incipit page of Texts I-1 and I-7 (the section for the night hours of Friday); headings and incipits of the texts (a few lines sometimes alternating), their sections and subsections; titles of the Biblical books and other works; directives for the ministers; names of Hebrew letters in Text I-7; the words ʾǝgziʾo taśahālanna, yǝbe, yǝtaragʷǝm and yǝbe matargʷǝm in Text I-7; initial words or letters in “Tǝmhǝrta ḫǝbuʾāt” (Text I-8). Ethiopic numerals and their elements; elements of the punctuation signs and of the text dividers.
