PREFACE.

I. In the year 1847 the Tmistees of the British Museum published a Catalogue of the
Ethiopic Manuscripts in the collections under their care. This work, which contains full
descriptions of eighty-two volumes (see pp. 327, 328), was compiled by Dr. A. Dillmann,
now Professor in the University of Berlin, to whom we also owe a Catalogue of the Ethiopic
Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library (Oxford, 1848), at that time only thirty-three in
number. Subsequently the British Museum was enriched by the purchase, at various
times between the years 1847 and 1867, of thirty-five volumes (see p. 328, commencing
with Add. 18,993, and ending with Orient. 80).

When the expedition against King Theodore was organized by the English Government
in 1867, it was determined to send an archaeologist to accompany it, and Mr. R. R. Holmes
(then an assistant in the Department of Manuscripts, now librarian at Windsor Castle)
was selected by the Trustees for this purpose. It was hoped that Mr. Holmes would be
able to visit sites of importance, to collect antiquities, and to procure valuable manuscripts.
The state of the country, the hurried character of the expedition, and the route chosen for
the army, prevented the first part of this program from being carried out. Of manu-
scripts Mr. Holmes was able to procure only a very few on the way up the country
(Orient. 451, 452, 453) ; but their scarcity was easily accounted for when the fortress of
Magdala (Makdala) fell into our hands. King Theodore intended, it appears (see p. 1), to
build there a church, in lionour of the Saviour of the World (Madbane 'Alam). Now a
church requires a collection of service-books ; and, as oriental churches and mosques are
places for study as Avell as worship, libraries are usually formed in connection with them.
King Theodore for years previous to 1868 had been actively engaged in collecting manuscripts
from other churches for the endowment of the chui-ch he proposed to build ; and the result
was a library of about a thousand volumes, which fell into the hands of our victorious troops.
From these a selection was made for the Ensjlish Government with the assistance of that
accomplished scholar Mr. Werner Munzinger, then one of the European consuls at
Massowah, whose recent death is deeply deplored by the scientific world. The remainder
of the Magdala library was given away in presents to the priests of the various churches
which our troops passed on their return to the coast. Some volumes had no doubt been
previously " looted " by our soldiers, and many more were purchased from their later

owners by officers of the army. In fact, the number of manuscripts brought to this
country in 1868, judging by what I have myself seen in the hands of private individuals
and in other libraries,* cannot, at the lowest computation, have been less than five
hundred.

On the 28th of August 1808 the bulk of the Magdala Collection was handed over to
the Trustees of the British Museum by the Secretary of State for India. Some volumes
were sent to the Royal Library at Windsor, of which Her Majesty was graciously pleased
to present ten (namely. Orient. 591, 607, 611, 616, 648, 649, 655, 713, 714, and 723) to
the British Museum on the 21st of January 1869. The entire Magdala Collection consists,
therefore, of 350 volumes. Only one manuscript (Orient. 1378) has since been added by
purchase to the Department.

In the course of official duty it fell to my lot to arrange and draw up short descriptions
of these manuscripts, which I published, in an abridged form, in the Zeitschrift der
Deutschen Morgenliindisclien Gesellschaft, Bd, xxiv., pages 599 — 616. When I resigned
the post of Assistant Keeper of the Manuscripts in 1870, I was honoured by the Trustees
with the commission to prepare a fuller Catalogue of the Magdala Collection; and I com-
menced this work as soon as I had finished the Catalogue of the Nitrian Collection of Syriac
Manuscripts in the British Museum, the third part of which appeared at the close of 1872.

II. Many persons will, I am fully aware, be sadly disappointed at the character of the
Magdala Collection ; more especially those who too sanguinely hoped to find in Abyssinia
vast stores of ancient Greek and Coptic manuscripts, palimpsests, and what not. For
this expectation I never could see the shadow of a reason. Any one who had occupied
himself in the least with the study of Ge'ez, must have known that a considerable part of
the Ethiopic literature was of comparatively late date, and consisted mainly of translations,
made sometimes from Coptic, but far more frequently from Arabic, between the fourteenth
and sixteenth centuries. The Coptic works were in most instances versions of Greek origi-
nals ; but in the case of the Arabic there was yet another link in the.chain, namely Syi-iac.
The value of such translations in the second and third degree must, of course, be small,
even for the purposes of textual criticism, unless it should happen that the original Greek
has perished in whole or in part.

* Tlie University Library of Cambridge, for example,
possesses several Ethiopic manuscripts, which no doubt
came from Magdala, though only two of them, I think,
are actually so marked. Among these is a fine copy of
the Gospels, of the latter part of the xvii"" cent. ; a manu-
script of the xviii"" cent., containing the rest of the New
Testament, viz., St. Paul's Epistles, the Acts, the Reve-
lation of St. John, and the seven Apostolic Epistles ; and
a splennid copy of tiie Old Testament, written for
Maryam Senfi, the queen of Sai-za DengCl, in the twenty-
sixth year of that king's reign, A.D. 1588. It contains :
the Octuteuch, Samuel and Kings, Proverbs, Eculesiastes,

Wisdom, Job, Isaiah, the twelve minor Prophets (im-
perfect), Jeremiah (including Baruch, Lamentations, and
the Epistle of Jeremiah), 4th Esdras, Daniel (including
Susanna, etc ), and Ezekiel. Another volume, of the
xvi"" or xvii"" cent., contains Proverbs, Ecclesiastes,
and Wi>dom. Besides these there are a Kerlos and an
'Argnnona DSftgH, both of the xviii"' cent. ; a couple of
Psalters ; the Gospel nf St. John (brought from Southern
India by Dr. C. Buchanan), of the xvii"" cent.; the
Irimestu 'A'mada Mesfir in Amharic; and one or two
more of less note.

PREFACE. T

Commencing with the oldest portion of the GSez litei-ature, the Bible and its Apocrypha,
the reader's attention may be called in particular to some of the rarer apocryphal writings
of the Old Testament, which he will find in this collection ; such as the Book of Enoch
(oxtant only in Ethiopic), the Kiifule ("Liber Jubilseorum " or "Parva Genesis"), the
Ascension of Isaiah, the " Reliqua Verborum Baruchi," tlie first (or, according to the
Vulgate, the fourth) Book of Esdras or Ezra, and the " Liber Adami" or llistory of Adam
and Eve. The Ethiopic Book of the Maccabees is also here in several copies; but the
later translation of first and second Maccabees from the Latin text is rather curious than
valuable. The apocryphal literature of the New Testament is best represented by the
Acts of the Apostles, recently translated into English, from a single and quite modern
manuscript, by the Rev. C. Malan. Those who wish to see what an insane craving after
miracles has led to, and to contemplate the melancholy spectacle of Mariolatry run mad,
will find ample food for study and refl.ection — perhaps also for mirth — in the so-called
Miracles of our Lord and of the Virgin Mary.

Of the Service-books the most interesting are the Missals. Some of the hvmns mav
possibly be thought worthy of publication and translation. The same can scarcely be said,
I fear, of the " Psalter of Christ " and of the "Psalter of Mary," which are sometimes
found in the larger copies of the Psalter.

Prom the Synaxaria and other Lives of Saints, collected and separate, materials may
be gleaned for the history of Ethiopia. The Acts of foreign Saints are, however, generally
known to us from other and better sources, Greek and Syriac.

In the department of Patristic Theology the Magdala Collccticn offers us spurious
treatises ascribed to Clement, the disciple of St. Peter; Chrysostora on the Epistle to the He-
brews ; works of Cyril of Alexandria, Epipbanius, and other Greek Eathers ; a bulky Catena
Patrum on the four Gospels ; the works of Mar Isaac of Nineveh and of the Aragawi Man-

fasawi (John Sabu) ; the twelve homilies of Severus of 'Esmunain {^^yJ:^) ; and collections
of homilies by other writers, Greek and Syriac. I would further mention the large treatises
on dogmatic theology called Edimdnota 'Ahau or '* The Faith of the Fathers," JIdvo'i or
" The Collector," and Talmld or " The Disciple ;" of the last two of which I have given
a fuller description than ordinary, as being yet hardly known to Orientalists but by
name.

Such books as the Didascalia Apostolorwn, the Slnddus or "Body of Ecclesiastical Law,"
the " Testament of our Lord," and the Fel/ia Nagast or " Laws of the Kmgs," will no
doubt repay further study. The same may be said with equal certainty of such historical
and chronological works as 'Ahii Shaker, Yvhannes Madabber, and the later chronicles of
Ethiopia. Nor should I pass over in silence the translation of Gorionides' History of the
Jews, 'al-Makln's Universal History, and the apocryphal Kebra Nagast or " Glory of the
Kings," to which the Abyssiuians attach such value that the reigning monarch King John
sent to London to beg, and not in vain, for the restoi-ation of a copy (see p. 297).

III. I have already said that the manuscripts in the Magdala Collection are of com-
paratively modern date. In fact none of them are anterior to A.D. 1400. There are, how-

ever, so far as T know, none of greater antiquity in England, not even in the small but clioice
collection of the British and Foreign Bible Society.* A few manuscripts of the four-
teenth century may exist among the rich stores of the Biblioth^que Nationale at Paris, a
catalogue of which is now being compiled by M, Zotenberg; but the oldest dated volumes in
England, to the best of my knowledge, are Orient. 719, written before A.D. 1434 (see
p. 193) ;t Orient. 650 (see p. 46) and Add. 11,678 (see Dillmann's Catalogue, p. 53), both
written in the reign of Zar'a Ya kob, A.D. 1434 — 68 ; and Add. 706, written in the reign of
'Eskender, A.D. 1478 — 94. Even manuscripts of the sixteenth century are rare, for the
British Museum possesses only three which are actually dated, all of them belonging to
the latter half of the century ; viz.. Orient. 534, 763, and 782, copied during the long
reign of Sarza DcngSl, between A.D. 1563 and 1597. In short, the great bulk of our
Ethiopic manuscripts are of the xvii*'', xviii* and xix"" centuries. It is only their archaic
form and aspect which at first misleads even the practised eye. When we find a volume
that is actually dated in the year of Christ 1594 (equivalent to our A.D. 1601-2), gravely
ascribed by scholars of repute to the twelfth century (see p. 311, note), we may judge
what reliance is to be placed upon the fanciful dates frequently assigned to Ethiopic
manuscripts.

As few persons know anything of the chronology of Abyssinia, it may not be out
of place to insert here a list of the Kings of Ethiopia, with their dates, from the
time of Yekuno Amhlk, which was kindly compiled for me in 1873 by my friend
Professor von Gutschmid of Jena, one of the most accurate and learned historians of
the time. In spelling the names I have chiefly followed the authority of Orient. 821.
The baptismal name of each king, when known, is given first, his regnal name or names
after it.

t To the same period belongs a beautiful copy of the
Gospels, one of the treasures of the Imperial Public
Library at St. Petersburg, written A.D. 1426, when
Isaac, Gabra Maskal, was king, Gabriel patriarch of
Alexandria, and Bartholomew 'abuna or metropolitan of
Ethiopia. See Bulletin scientifique de I'Academie Im-
periale des Sciences, t. iii., p. 150, where this manuscript

is described in detail by that illustrious scholar B. von
Dorn.

I This is not in accordance with Orient. 821 (see
p. 316), in which manuscript Bahr 'Asgad is a predecessor
of Yekuno 'Amlak, whilst 'AgbC'a Seyon's eldest son is
called Senfa 'Ar'ed.

IV. In outward appearance an Ethiopic manuscript much resembles a Greek or Syriac
manuscript of far greater age, say of the x"* or xii* century. On this subject the reader
should consult the preface to M. D'Abbadie's Catalogue Eaisonne of his own collection,
one of the valuable results of his long residence in Abyssinia ; but I may be allowed to
reproduce some of his observations, supplementing them now and then from my own
experience.

The material on which the manuscripts are* written is a coarse vellum, or rather
parchment, manufactured, according to D'Abbadie, from goatskin or sheepskin, the former
being used for larger and finer books, the latter for those that are smaller and of a com-
moner description. Such tomes as the great Seneksars (e. g,, nos. ccxxxii. — ccxxxv.) and
the Hawl (nos. cccxlviii. — cccL) must have cost the lives of whole flocks, since the hide of
a single animal could not supply more than one skin or two leaves of such size. Paper
does not seem to have come into use before the close of last century, and was even then
not extensively employed.

The quires {terdzdt) consist, as a rule, of five skins or ten leaves, the writing being in two
or three columns, according to the size of the volume. Only small manuscripts have single
columns. The quires are usually numbered with arithmetical figures (i. e., Greek letters) at
the top of the first page, in the left-hand corner. The ink is of good quality, and obviously
manufactured from the ordinary ingredients, gallnuts, green vitriol, gum arable and water.
Eor rubrication and ornament the scribes use various pigments or paints, chiefly red, less
frequently blue, green and yellow. Their pen is the ordinary oriental kalam or reed
(•flCO : > here), which they are wont to try on the blank leaves at the beginning and end,
making use for this pui'pose of the introductory formula 11 fl**" : IhrU : etc., or of the words
AX^ : -flCO : , fat'ina bere\ "trial of the pen," or -flC^ : UITJE: , here sandy* "a good
pen." The volumes are firmly stitched with sinews, and placed between stout wooden
boards. Metal covers appear to be a great rarity (see Orient. 728). The boards are
covered with morocco leather, of Arabian or native manufacture, tooled with crosses
and other ornamental devices. The inner side of the boards is partially covered by
the overlapping of the outer leather, the space in the centre being lined with a covering of
brocade, striped silk, or cotton cloth, according to the means or taste of the possessor.
Sometimes, in small books, a fragment of looking-glass is inserted. The volume thus
bound is placed in a mdhdar or case, of roughly prepared skin, furnished with a cover and
straps, wherewith to hang it up or sling it round the neck of the owner.

* Not the proper name of a scribe, as has sometimes been supposed.

3t PREFACE.

Fine manuscripts must have been at all times an expensive luxury in Abyssinia.
Hence it is that so many of the volumes now in the British Museum were written
for kings and queens, either for their own use or as presents to churches which they
built and endowed.

V. To determine the age of an undated Ethiopic manuscript is by no means easy; and
I have therefore much pleasure in directing the attention of the reader to the series of
excellent autotypes accompanying this catalogue, from the study of which he may
derive some useful hints.

In the fifteenth century (Plates I., II., III.) the handwriting is more angular than at
a subsequent date. Observe, for example, the forms of the letters O, UJ, P, K, >*. *, and n™,
especially in Plate I. Remark likewise the curve in one limb of H (Plate I., col. 1, 11. 1,
7, 9, etc.), and the curious shape of O (Plate I., col. 1, 1. 4; col. 2, 11. 8, 16). Further,
notice the angular form of the vowels in •¥• (Plate I., col. 1, 1. 1) and * (Plate II., col. 1,
11, 1, 7). A sure mark of antiquity is the absence of the connecting stroke in A", giving
the form te. Both forms may occur in one and the same manuscript ; and A" may be
found quite early in the fifteenth century (as in Plate I.) ; but I venture to say that rtp will
never be found subsequently to that century. Another mark of antiquity is the use, as
in Plate II., of small marginal figures (consisting of red and black dots) to mark the end
of verses or sentences in the text ; and the employment of the crux ansata -^ (see D'Ab-
badie's Catal., p. 64) and similar figures by way of ornament.

The writing of the sixteenth century (Plates lY. and Y.) is very different in appear-
ance from that of the fifteenth. It is more rounded in many of its forms, and, in the
examples known to me, is decidedly small and delicate.

The seventeenth century (Plates YI., YII., YIII.) presents us with the Ethiopic
characters in their most elegant shapes. The pictures of this and the preceding epochs
are faint reminiscences (how very faint !) of Byzantine art.*

The eighteenth century (Plates IX., X., XI.) exhibits but little falling off in penman-
ship during its earlier half, but after the time of 'lyasu II. a rapid deterioration becomes
manifest. The paintings of this century, as exemplified in Plates X. and XI., are aU copied
from European models, namely coarse woodcuts, imported no doubt, in the first instance,
by Roman Catholic missionaries. Some of these I have found pasted in volumes of the
collection (see p. 42, col. 2, and p. 54, col. 2). The colouring is on a level with the rest of
the design and execution.

During the latter half of the eighteenth century there is a marked decline in the
penmanship of the Abyssinian scribes, and the present century (Plates XII. and XIII.)
exhibits no improvement. The writing is scratchy, and unless traced with care (as in the
examples selected) by no means clear and legible. In particular, such forms as fl and fl,
1*1 and ""l or l"", fL and n., and the like, are often hard to distinguish at a glance.

YI. A detailed description of the plates, especially in regard to their colouring, may
perhaps not be unacceptable.

* Such pictures are usually covered with pieces of cloth, sewed to the leaves.

PREFACE. xi

In Plate I. the marks at the end of a paragraph (col. 1, 1. 6) or sentence (col. 1, II. 4,
14; col. 2, 11. 3, 5, etc.) are made up of red and black dots and strokes. The word AA.IIA :
iu col. 1, 11. 7, 8, is rubricated. In col. 1, 1. 14, (DJEirLA : is written over an erasure. Tliis
plate is of the size of the original, which belonged at one time to king Zar'a Ya'kob.

Plate II. is also full-size. The ornament in col. 1 is coloured red and white. The
marks at the end of sentences or paragraphs, and the corresponding figures on the margins,
consist, as before, of red and black dots and strokes. The name of yO^fl -. in col. 1,
1. 1, is rubricated; and so are lines 3, 5, and 7, as well as the arithmetical figure 5 in 1. 9.
The manuscript was written for king Zar'a Ya'kob.

Plate III. is likewise fuU-size. Lines 1, 3 and 5 are rubricated right across the page.
The word 4.fl/\Kfi : in col. 1, 11. 8, 9, and the arithmetical figure C in col. 2, 1. 8, are
also in red. The ornament at the top is coloured not disagreeably with red, yellow, green
and blue paints. The manuscript was written in the reign of 'Eskender. The writing on
the right-hand side is of recent date; above we r§ad d.X\ -. 'flC.O -. , "trial of the pen;"
and below, ^^A : 4.lXAKi1 : H^K,tl -. "^K^^i. : «%A9o : , "acts of Fasiladas, belonging
to the (church of the) Holy Saviour of the World."

Plate IV. is very slightly reduced in size. The manuscript was written in the twenty-
fifth year of the reign of Sarza Dcngel. Sentences are terminated, as usual, by red and
black dots. In col. 3, U. 7, 8, 17 and 18 are rubricated, as is also the name "^Ir^fl : in
1.20.

Plate V. is likewise slightly reduced. It is taken from a manuscript which was
written during the same reign as the previous one. Marks of interpunction at the end
of sentences are red and black, and so is the dotted line in col. 1, after which there are
two lines of rubric. In col. 1, 1. 19, two words are written over an erasure. The position
of the numerals which mark the quire, in the middle of the page, is less frequent ;
generally they are in the left-hand corner. Catchwords, of which we have here an example,
are rare.

Plate VI. is somewhat reduced in size, from a manuscript which was written for
Hamalmala Wark, the mother of king Susenyos. These names are rubricated in col. 1,
11. 4 — 6; as are also the name of the Virgin Mary, "^C.P9" : in 1. 9 ; the numeral 6 in
11. 7, 12, 19 ; and the first two lines of the column. The interpunction is with red and
black dots as usual.

Plate VII. is considerably reduced ; it is from a manuscript written in the reign of
Pasiladas. Interpunction (col. 1, 1. 2), red and black dots. Heading, and the smaller
writing on the picture, rubricated. The left-hand compartment of the picture shows us
the aged and blind priest Yohannes, praying to a picture of the Mother and Child. The
right-hand compartment exhibits the effigy of the Virgin suddenly becoming animated ;
milk flows from her breast, wherewith she touches the eyes of the priest, who imme-
diately recovers his sight, at the age of 100, and lives for twenty-one years after-
wards! The frame of the picture is coloured red and yellow, with black lines;
tlie garments of the figures are red, yellow and blue; the flesh-tint is yellow, shaded

with red.

i2

xii PREFACE.

Plate VIII. is reduced by about one-third ; it is from a manuscript which was written
at the end of the reign of Faslladas. Interpunction as before ; col. 1, 11. 2 — 4, rubricated.
The heading of the picture, and the writing on it, are also in red. The picture represents
the nailing of our Lord to the Cross. On the right stand the Virgin Mary, Salome, and
Mary the mother of Joses, with other figures ; on the left, the Roman centurion and his
soldiers. The dresses are painted red, yellow and blue, with black or red stripes and
yellow or red spots. In front are nails and pincers (coloured blue), and a basket con-
taining ropes (in outline only). The cross is tinted with sepia; the ground of the
picture is white.

Plate IX. is slightly reduced ; it is from a manuscript written in the reign of Tostos,
whose name is in rubric, col. 1, 1. penult. ; col. 2, 11. 5, 6. The first two lines of col. 2 are
also in red. Interpunction as usual.

Plate X. is very slightly reduced; it is from a manuscript of the reign of Bakafa.
Interpunction as before. The names of the Virgin Mary, king Bakafil, and the monk
Isaac are rubricated, col. 1, 11. 3, 4; col. 1, 1. 5; and col. 2, 1. 1. In col. 2, 1. 6, two words
are written on an erasure. The picture sets forth another edifying miracle, namely, how
the Virgin Mary issued from her picture and spoke to the monk Isaac, who had worshipped
her for seven years, promising that in three days he should be with her. The border of
the picture is red with a white stripe. Its ground, above and below, is green ; in the
middle, yellow. The Virgin wears a crimson dress and blue mantle, shaded with black ;
the Child is clad in a yellow garment with red spots. The glory of the Virgin is orange
and yellow, with a yellow cross below it ; that of the Child, yellow. The chair is red.
The kneeling figure of the saint is clothed in an upper garment of green, shaded with
black ; the lower garment is crimson. The recumbent figure has an upper garment of
blue, shaded with black ; the lower garment is red, with a yellow pattern. The flesh-tints
are red; the head-coverings black.

Plate XI. is considerably reduced ; it is from a manuscript which was written for king
'lyasu II. The writing at the top of the page is red. The upper ornament has a red
border and yellow ground ; the flowers, etc., have black outlines, and are coloured red and
wiiite or red and green. The first, third and fifth lines of writing are rubricated right
across the page, the marks of interpunction being red and green, whereas elsewhere they
are, as usual, red and black (e. g., col. 2, 1. 7 ; col. 3, 1. 6). The picture represents the
Flight into Egypt, in two compartments ; to the left, the Holy Family are preparing
to set out ; to the right, they are on their journey. The border of the picture is red and
white ; the ground, yellow ; the trees, green. The dresses are red, green and blue, with
white and yellow patterns. The flesh-tint is a dark brick-red.

Plate XII. is full-size. It is taken from a manuscript which was written in the rei^-n
of 'Egwala Seyon, whose name is rubricated in col. 1, 1. 2. The word (D^ChJ^ : in 1. 14
and the numerals s S in 1. 15, are also in red. The marks of interpunction are red and
black. Here again the signature of the quire is in the middle.

Plate XIII. is somewhat reduced ; it is taken from a manuscript which was written
for king Theodore. The ornamental device is coloured red, yellow, blue, green and white.

PREFACE. xiii

The first two lines of writing in both columns are red ; the next two, green ; the next two,
red ; then come four lines of blue ; then, in succession, two lines of red, green, red,
and blue. In the red lines the marks of interpunction are red ; in the green, red and
green ; in the blue, red and blue. All the colours are exceedingly vivid.

VII. In compiling this Catalogue, I have, in accordance with my instructions, fol-
lowed the same general plan as in drawing up that of tlie Syriac manuscripts. Professor
Dillmann's Catalogue has been my model in the present instance, as that of Messrs.
Rosen and Forsliall was in the other. On the irksome task of correcting the proof-sheets
I have bestowed much time and labour. Many things which to a reader may appear
as mistakes are the actual readings of the manuscripts ; although it is only rarely that I
have, for one reason or another, drawn attention to them. Tlie Indices Avill, I trust, he
found full and satisfactory. In compiling them I have not thought it necessary, as I did
in the case of the Syriac manuscripts, to insert the names of the scribes and owners, which
are here of little or no importance.

To Mr. Bond, the Keeper of the MSS., Dr. Rieu, the Keeper of the Oriental MSS., and
Mr. E. M. Thompson, the Assistant Keeper of the MSS., my best thanks are due for much
good advice and active assistance in reading the proof-sheets ; and the printers too deserve
a word of praise for promptitude and care in the execution of their work.

To myself the completion of this Catalogue is a source both of pleasure and regret.
I am glad to have had the rare opportunity of cataloguing two of the finest collections of
Oriental Manuscripts of their class in Europe, the Nitrian Syriac and the Magdala Ethiopic ;
but I feel sorry that, with the completion of this latter work, the last link which bound
me to the British Museum is broken ; that the service which began so long ago as 1861
has now at length come to an end.

Sarza Dengel had then just conquered Mu-

appears too that the author was a monk of
Dabra Miiryam or the Convent of 8. Mary.

from the introduction and the above note,
that the work was translated from Greek

Facll 'ibn Abdallab, and that the present Ms.
was written in the 15th (?) year of the reign
of Fasiladas, A.M. 714 — , or about A.D.

logical, moral and ascetic compilation, writ-
ten in Greek by one Antiochus, of Dabra
Sik, or the convent of Sik, to the east of
Jemsalem (f. 16 a, col. 1). It was trans-
lated into Arabic by Gabriel 'ibn Batrak, in
the convent of S. Antony in the Arabian
desert, A. Mart. 983, A.H. 665,=A.D. 1266
— 67 (f. 20 a, col. 3) ; and from Arabic into

HISTORY AND CHRONOGRAPHY.

CCCLXXV.

Vellum, about 14f in. by 12^ ; foil. 193,
the last of which is mutilated; two columns;
a fuU page of writing contains 18 lines, but
usually there are only from 4 to 8 lines and
a picture. Written in a fine hand, during
the earlier part of the xviii* cent, (see below).

The first volume of a work entitled Mas-
hafa Madbal, or, as it is explained, GubaJe
Mest'irdta Zamandf, " Collection of the Mys-
teries of the Times," or more shortly, Mes-
t'lra Zaman, " the Mystery of Time." It is
nothing more than the Biblical history
turned into verse.

the im. : otjQyifo . qj. u History of Mary."

The colophon, which has been much
altered by erasure, gives us the name of
king 'lyasii (II.), but that of Bakafti appears
on the same page, f. 192 b, without any era-

has heen much tampered with and altered,
this work pretends to have heen translated

and Abu '1-Faraj, in the year of grace 409,
in the reign of Gabra Maskal (Amda Seyon,
A.D. 1314 — 44), when George was patriarch
of Alexandria ; and subsequently from Arabic
into Ethiopic by one Isaac. (DtMltlA : fl

Ethiopic manuscript, mentioned in the Spicilegium,

centuries. Instead of being of the xii*** cent., it is
really of the beginning of the xvii*, for it bears

This Chronicle commences with the history
of Ras Mika'el Sehul, who held the reins of
power under the weak kings 'lyasu II. and
'lyo'as (f. 3 «), the latter of whom he caused
to be murdered in May 1769, and set upon
the throne the aged Yohannes II. (f. 3 a),
who died in October of the same year. Yo-
hannes was succeeded by his son Takla
Haimanot II. (f. 3 5), the events of whose
reign are told at considerable length. The
narrative closes with the death of Kas Mika'el
in the reign of Takla Giydrgis (f. 7 6).

On f. 7 & is a note stating that these
chronicles of the kings and judges, from
Adam to Admas Sagad Takla Haimanot (II.),
were transcribed by the care of Dajazmach
Hailu (compareD'Abbadie,Catal.,p.l34). (D
