ETHIOPICA AND AMHARICA A LIST OF WORKS IN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 1. Veteris Testamenti Aethiopici tomus primus, sive Octateuchus Aethiopicus. Ad librorum manuscriptorum fidem edidit et apparatu critico instruxit Dr. Augustus Dillmann, Professor Tubingensis. Impensarum partem suppeditante Societate Germanorum Orientali. Lipsiae: Sumptibus Fr. Crr. [sic! Chr.] Guil. Vogelii, 1853. 3 p.l., 485 (1) p., 1 I., 219(1) p. sq. 8°. v. 1 was issued partly at the expense of the German Oriental Society in three parts: (1) Genesis-Leviticus (1853); (2) Numbers and Deuteronomy (1854); (3) Joshua-Ruth (1855). The postscript (dated 1 February 1855) at the end of part three explains that further publication of the work was suspended owing to lack of funds. This edition of the Octateuch is based on four mss., which the editor designates by the letters F, H, G. C. The oldest ms. (Codex F), now in possession of the British and Foreign Bible Society, contains a colophon from which it appears that it was presented by Yeshaq or Isaac, the Negus who reigned from 1414 to 1429, to the monks of the Abyssinian monastery at Jerusalem. Codex H is a copy of F, made by J. H. Michaelis. Codex G, now in the Bodleian Library, was made for James Bruce, the African traveler, between 1768 and 1773, and is very carelessly executed. Codex C is a carefully executed ms. of the seventeenth century (c. 1650) and was acquired by Eduard Rüppell during his sojourn in Abyssinia. II.
