Two 15th C. Ethiopian Bibles or Prayer Books

Item Details

Description

Lot of two Ethiopian bibles or prayer books, 15th century, handwritten, with hand-crafted wooden covers and leather cases, 8" h x 6" w (largest) with two additional scrolls; Amharic bibles were sold to antique dealers in Nairobi, Kenya, by refugees from Ethiopia in the 1980's. They are ancient, written in Amharic, a version of the old Ge'ez language of Ethiopia, with organic dyes on leather that is primitively tanned. Some are fitted with hand-crafted wooden covers. Christianity became the state religion of Ethiopia in the 4th century, and the Bible was first translated into Ge'ez at about that time. Provenance: From a Massachusetts estate.
