Recently, however, the Ethiopian Manuscript Microfilm Library, Addis Abäba/Collegeville, has discovered and microfilmed a 16<sup>th</sup>-century copy of the text, EMML 504, edited and translated here. In the work <em>Abba </em>Giyorgis reviews the symbolic prophecies in the Old Testament relating to the Incarnation of the Word. The <em>W</em><em>ǝ</em><em>ddase Mäsqäl</em> is an exceedingly high quality literary work, even by the author’s famously high standards.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Aethiopica}, author={Haile, Getatchew}, year={2011}, month={Jul.}, pages={47–120} }
