COPTIC ETHIOPIAN MANUSCRIPT LATE 18TH-EARLY 19th CENTURIES Psalter - Canticles - Praises to Mary
Dated according to palaeography: late eighteenth or nineteenth century.
Parchment in ancient Ethiopian (Ge’ez)
1-2 col; 17-18 lg; 202 folios.
20 x 20.5 x 7.5 cm
Binding: Wooden boards covered with a dark leather binding stamped in cold. Three frames delimited by triple fillets and formed by a cross-iron, with four double nodules at each corner. In the centre, a Latin cross formed by the same irons.
Faded manuscript. The lower left triangular corner of the upper wooden board is detached from the spine but held by a stitch. The leather cover is damaged on the first board and missing on the second board except for the filled in one. The first three quires and the eighteenth quire (fol. 155-162) have been rebound and solidified by a seam on the quire endpaper, probably at the time of the sale of the codex in Ethiopia. This restoration was not completed and the last five quires are fragile, the original chain stitching linking the spines of the quires being damaged.
