Ethiopian Scribal Practice 1 cover

The series Ethiopic Manuscripts, Texts, and Studies offers, in the first place, catalogues of the Ethiopic Manuscript Imaging Project, whose purpose it is to digitize and catalogue collections of Ethiopic manuscripts in North America and around the world. Beyond this, though, the series offers a venue for monographs, revised dissertations, and texts that explore the rich historical, literary, and artistic traditions of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. From the Series Foreword.

"Published simultaneously with the Catalogue (978-0-227-17350-3), this volume contains at least one plate for each of the 105 codices described there. It selects images from the various manuscripts to physical features of Ethiopic manuscripts, which are explained on pages faces the images. The publications are the first fruit of a project to digitize and disseminate all Ethiopic manuscript in the US and around the world." Book News Inc., Reference - Research Book News - October 2011 '...the catalogue and the companion volume mark an important step towards the establishing of a better standard of Ethiopic codicology, where quantitative evaluation comes to play a more central role...' Alessandro Bausi, Aethiopica: International Journal of Ethiopian and Eritrean Studies, 13 (2010)
