Palaeography
Hand 1
Script: Ethiopic
Nice, careful writing. The manuscript consists of two parts. Fol. 1-33a is distinctly Christian. With fol. 33b starts the Falasha section of the manuscript, beginning with the usual Beta ʾƎsrāʾel eulogy. As there is no visible separation between the two sections and the writing seems to be of the same hand, it must be assumed that a Christian copyist has copied the text, from 33b on, from a Falasha manuscript.Select one of the keywords listed from the record to see related data
