A Handlist of the Manuscripts in the Institute of Ethiopian Studies, Volume One

“After over fifteen years in preparation, Delamarter and Gnisci introduce a carefully researched catalogue of 1,530 parchment manuscripts from the Institute of Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa University. They date from the fourteenth to twentieth century and provide an unparalleled and virtually untouched view of the economic, social, political, and cultural history of the country. The volume covers 330 pages and is accompanied by 142 excellent color plates.”
