Could you take a look at Grébaut's entry

https://betamasaheft.eu/Dillmann/lemma/Lc4ee85c92b1e4cca9895c56e55309bd0.

What is the collection that he mentions: éthiopien Robeyr.

I could not find it immediately, we will keep this in mind.

@anaiswion could possibly know. dear @anaiswion does this ring a bell?

anaiswion commented 9 months ago

Never heard about this name. Any possibility of a misreading ?

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 9 months ago

A typing mistake is possible from the side of S. Grebaut, since it is he how refers to the source, probably only once, in his Supplément au Lexicon linguae aethiopicae, see https://betamasaheft.eu/Dillmann/?mode=none&q=robeyr&id=Lc4ee85c92b1e4cca9895c56e55309bd0

I don't know if only once becsue there is still much ahead of me. But if it is a typo then what could be the correct name? As far as I can tell Grebaut is very accurate and he does not allow any mistakes in his dictionary. There is errata to the dictionary and this name is not mention. I don't think he would not notice the mistake while proofreading.

I am currently discussing this with Vanessa Desclaux, the curator in charge of Oriental Christian Mss at the BnF. She suggests that Robeyr is a private collector, as there is no serial number, only a name. Robeyr is the name of a publisher in the 1930-1940s. She'll keep looking!

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 9 months ago

Yes, I saw it. This is a small mystery, or maybe a mistake which is now difficult to correct.

eu-genia commented 9 months ago

Probably not a mistake, probably as @anaiswion and Vanessa noted, it is this guy image
