Four Gospels in the Ethiopic version, possibly seventeenth century., ?17th century.
Scope and Contents
The copy was probably made for a church, since it contains the references to the Lessons. The writing is in two columns. Each Gospel is preceded by a coloured drawing of its Evangelist and followed by an index of the sections (folios 8 verso, 64 verso, 107 verso, 161 verso). That of St Matthew is preceded by other crude coloured drawings of gateways, birds, beasts, and trees. There is no colophon.
