Description

The Aksumite Collection is a term introduced to define a specific canonical-liturgical collection of the late antique and early medieval Ethiopian Church and the so far codex unicus that attests it. The Aksumite Collection contains a set of translations from Greek to Gǝʿǝz (Ethiopic) that on linguistic and philological evidence are datable to the Aksumite period, to a time range between the fifth and the sixth or at the latest the seventh century CE, while the codex is not precisely dated, but datable to the thirteenth century or earlier.
