- Description
- Contents: 1. Ff. 1r-133v: Psalms of David. -- 2. Ff. 134r-147v: Biblical Canticles. -- 3. Ff. 147v-156v: Song of Songs, Hebraic version. -- 4. Ff. 157r-167r: Praises of Mary [Wəddase Maryam]. Arranged for the days of the week (Monday, f. 157r; Tuesday, f. 158r; Wednesday, f. 159v; Thursday, f. 161r; Friday, f. 163v; Saturday, f. 164v; Sunday, f. 166r). -- 5. Ff. 167r-171v: Gate of Light [Anqäṣä Bərhan]. Manuscript document. Title devised by cataloger. Item cataloged from existing description in Catalogue of the Ethiopic Manuscript Imaging Project: Volume 1, in which this manuscript is entered as EMIP 71. Quires: two protection quires + 17 full quires, quires 2, 4, 6-17 numbered, iv + 173 folios, 185 x 135 mm. Quire descriptions: quires 1-6, 8-17 balanced; quire 7 unbalanced. Overlooked words of text are written interlinearly (f. 90r); and overlooked lines of text are written interlinearly (f. 2v). This scribe has avoided the problem of lines of text too long to fit on one line by adopting an aspect ratio that leaves ample room for the width of most lines. On a few occasions, the line would have been too long and the scribe finishes the end of the line with words written smaller so as to avoid leftover text (e.g., ff. 2v, 5r, 105v). Occasionally a line is still too long and has to be completed above or below the end of the line. In these cases, the scribe places the material above the line (e.g., ff. 47v, 50r, 60r, 65r, 87r, 107r, etc.) or below the line (e.g., ff. 50r and 65r). Varia: F. iv: Quotation from Ps 114:3/116:3. Binding: four Coptic chain stitches attached with bridle attachments to rough-hewn boards.
