Palaeography
Hand 1
Scribe: ʾabuna Gabra Śǝllāse scribe
Script: Ethiopic
Twentieth-century bulky script.
Ink: Black; red.
Rubrication: Divine names; three groups of two lines each alternating with black lines on the incipit page (check the viewerfols. 3r, ); incipits of the text sections (check the viewer22r, , check the viewer23v ); directives to the ministers; parts of the commissioners՚ names; some other words like እግሌ፡ (check the viewer5v ), the name አብርሃም፡ (check the viewer6v ); titles of the biblical books and prayers; elements of the Ethiopic numerals and punctuations signs. Rubrication has been carefully executed in the main hand along with the copying of the text.
ʾabuna Gabra Śǝllāse scribeCareful but not very regular; by a mediocre scribe. Broad bulky script. Downstrokes are right-sloping, tops are horizontal. Rectangular letter shapes. The top of ጥ is flat (e.g. check the viewerFols. 5r, , check the viewer18r, check the viewer31v ); the left leg of ለ is leant upon the right leg. Gaps between elements of many letters.
