Palaeography
Hand 1
Script: Ethiopic
The writing is big and calligraphic. The book-headings are decorated with pen-and-ink drawings. The writing and the drawings have a striking likeness with the Manuscript Orient.650 of the British Museum (see facsimile in W. Wright's Catalogue of the Ethiopic Manuscripts in the British Museum, London 1887), which is dated from the reign of Zar'a Ya'kob (1434-68). Paleographically, the manuscript seems to belong approximately to the same period.Select one of the keywords listed from the record to see related data
