ʾAbbā Salāmā and his Role of Commissioner of the Gǝbra Ḥǝmāmāt: an Additional Evidence from Two Witnesses from Tǝgrāy, Northern Ethiopia

DOI

Among the Gǝʿǝz translations which, according to the Ethiopian Christian tradition, were produced and promoted by the fourteenth-century Metropolitan ʾAbbā Salāmā, there is also the Gǝbra Ḥǝmāmāt, the Gǝʿǝz version of the Coptic Lectionary for the Holy Week. This is suggested by the colophon, which concludes the readings for the Saturday of the Resurrection and which is found, in addition to three previously known manuscripts preserved in the British Library, in two witnesses from Tǝgrāy in northern Ethiopia, recorded by the project Ethio-SPaRe. The aim of the article is to present these two manuscripts and the colophon, in which ʾAbbā Salāmā is mentioned as the one who commissioned the Gǝʿǝz lectionary.
