Identification of Work #1670

Closed Ralph-Lee-UK closed 3 years ago

Ralph-Lee-UK commented 3 years ago

The work on the following images is catalogued as 'Vision of John, Son of Thunder, on the Agreement of the Eighty-One Canonical Scripture' although that identification doesn't seem clear to me.

Can anyone identify the work?

Spontaneously I also could not find it anywhere. Is there maybe on the next page something resembling a title line? This all still reads like it could precede one...

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 3 years ago

It seems to be related to a theological controversies; also it may be a missive of a church hierarch (ጸሐፍነ) as it contains the formula "ትብጻሕ ለ" and the style seems to be polemical. It would make sense to look in the text for the author's name (a metropolitan?).

I am told that Getachew Haile published a critical edition of this in The Mariology of Emperor Zär’a Ya‘ǝqob of Ethiopia. OCA 242. Rome: Pontificium Institutum Studiorum Orientalium, 1992, 94-117 - I don't have a copy of this or current access - @DenisNosnitsin1970 or @thea-m do you have access to this?

thea-m commented 3 years ago

No, I'm sorry, I don't

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 3 years ago

Sorry, I do not have it at home now.

@Ralph-Lee-UK, can I message you with a PDF through Facebook? I scanned it some years ago.

Ralph-Lee-UK commented 3 years ago

@smaugustine Yes please!

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 3 years ago

Dear Ralph, please let me know how you find my interpretation above, if it fits more or less, or not (useful for my own research).

Ralph-Lee-UK commented 3 years ago

@Denis Augustine kindly sent me a copy of the book, and so I copy here Getachew Haile's comments on this work:

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 3 years ago

Interesting! Is the text meant in Getatchew the one above?

Ralph-Lee-UK commented 3 years ago

Yes indeed!

Ralph-Lee-UK commented 3 years ago

@DenisNosnitsin1970 my mistake - the works are not the same. I have created the record for the work anyway, with this reference and that is correct. I just need to do something else for this short work which is actually a short statement in Ge'ez and then a summary in Amharic. I will let you know what I think about the work when I've taken a closer look.
