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-

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.

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.

The  name  of  Susenyos  (A.D.  1607—32)  is 
evidently  a  later  insertion,  for  the  19th  year 
of  his  reign  was  A.D.  1626,  whereas  the 
dates  given  point  to  A.D.  1582,  which  was 
the  19th  year  of  his  predecessor  Sarza  Dengel 
(A.D.  1563—97). 

As  a  specimen  of  the  work  we  give  the 
first  two  Psalms,  f.  13  a.

In  the  15l8t  Psalm  we  find  the  name  of 
the  monarch,  during  whose  reign  the  work 
was  composed  and  this  copy  of  it  written. 
Sarza  Dengel  had  then  just  conquered  Mu- 
hammad, the  Muslim  sultan  of  'Adal.  It 
appears  too  that  the  author  was  a  monk  of 
Dabra  Miiryam  or  the  Convent  of  8.  Mary.

if 

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 
Ethiopic  by  one  Salik,  A.  M.  7074= A.  D. 
1582  (foil.  245  b,  coU.  2  and  3),  "  in  the  20th 
year  of  king  Sarza  Dengel,  the  15th  of  John 
(XI.),  patriarch  of  Alexandria,  and  the  6th 
of  Mark  (III.),  metropolitan  of  Ethiopia" 
(f.  245  6,  col.  2).  According  to  f.  245  b,  col.  3, 
Antiochus  was  not  the  actual  author  of  the 
book,  but  merely  abridged  (!)  it  from  an  older 
Greek  work.  The  following  are  the  intro- 
duction and  contents,  foil.  16  a — 20  a.

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.

According  to  the  colophon,  f.  46  a,  which 
has  heen  much  tampered  with  and  altered, 
this  work  pretends  to  have  heen  translated 
from  Coptic  into  Arahic,  by  Abu  'l-'Izz 
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

centuries.  Instead  of  being  of  the  xii***  cent.,  it  is 
really  of  the  beginning  of  the  xvii*,  for  it  bears 
date  "A.C.  1594"=A.D.  1601—2.  I  am  indebted

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

writing  of  N.  Pearce,  who  resided  in  Abys- 
sinia between  1807  and  1819.  It  seems  to 
be  of  but  little  value,  being  drawn  up  by  an 
illiterate  man,  who  had  not  studied  the 
native  languages  scientifically.  For  ex- 
ample : — 

larli,  lie 

tuckarbel,        tuckerbel 
dergum,  dergumno 

Armine,  Armin 

Narsey,  Narsey 

Baldheaded,  bocker,  bocar 

Lie,  assert,  assert 

and  the  like,  where  the  foreign  words  are 
all  disfigured  by  the  insertion  of  the  letter  r.
