Author Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Ethiopic Manuscripts in the British Museum Acquired Since the Year 1847 Of the Service-books the most interesting are the Missals. Some of the hymns may 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. From the Synaxaria and other Lives of Saints, collected and separate, materials mav 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.
