Ms Ethiopic 4 of the Collection of the India Office: A strayed Manuscript of Gadla Lālibalā

In all likelihood it was the German missionary Johann Ludwig Krapf who commissioned a manuscript with hagiographic texts about King Lālibalā in the first decade of the nineteenth century, in Šawā. This manuscript was eventually used by August Dillmann for his Lexicon linguae aethiopicae published in 1865. More than eighty years later, the manuscript was catalogued by Enrico Cerulli in 1946 and was later lost somewhere on one of the numerous shelves of the collection of the India Office. It has recently been traced and is now to be found in the British Library under the shelf mark Ms Ethiopic 4

Giving Depth to TEI-Based Descriptions of Manuscripts: The Golden Gospel of Ham

The work on the Golden Gospel of Dabra Libānos za-Ham in Eritrea, one of the main archives of the medieval history of Ethiopia and Eritrea, was initiated within the frame of the Ethiopian Manuscript Archives project, ANR EthioChristProcess, and Beta maṣāḥǝft. The work aims to describe the codicological disposition of the archival notes (i.e. arrangement of texts within the codex and its by-side folia), to provide their transcription, translation, and indexation. This article will discuss the encoding method for this work in progress, supported by TEI

King Ṭanṭawǝdǝm's land charter: state of the art and new perspectives

This paper is part of the project HornEast that has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No. 726206).Marie-Laure Derat's edition and translation of King Ṭanṭawǝdǝm's land charter to the church of Qǝfrǝyā-attested in MS Ethio-SPaRe UM-035 (ʿUrā Qirqos, XVIIIth century)-sheds more light on the much earlier history of Ethiopia, X-XIIIth centuries. This land charter has all chances to improve our knowledge about Christian-Muslim relationships at that early time and therefore, has a direct interest for the ERC project HornEast
