INTERESTING BEAUTIFUL ETHIOPIAN BIBLELEAF ON VELLUM:

Ge\'ez language is one of the Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia in the past; and probably originated from 2 sources: The Sabaean language originated in Southern Yemen few centuries B.C; and represents an old Arabic Semitic language spoken by the famous biblical Queen of Sheba. It was also known as Himyarite language. And the second source was from Egypt during the Hyksos ruling. The Hyksos were Semitic tribes; invaded old Egypt and ruled for 400 years. When they were expelled out of Egypt they fled to Nuba, Ethiopia, and Canaan. The Christian Kingdom of Aksum (old Ethiopia) had occupied Yemen in the early centuries A.D. The Ge’ez language is a combination of the two; the Semitic and the old Ethiopian languages. It was vanished with time and nowadays is only used in biblical and Christian Orthodox schools in old Ethiopia. What you see here is an old Coptic bible or Psalms book leaf on vellum, calf or goat skin with bold black and red ink. The red ink is usually reserved for the name of God or Saints. The codition of the vellum is excellent. Some scripts vanished with years; dirt and heavy foxing exist as well. The effect of Humidity is obvious on this manuscript, but the text is not seriously affected. It measures 4.5\" x 6.9\". I do not know this language, so I am not sure about the exact date or content; but according to some experts and references, these bibles are not dated and vary from 300 to 600 years in age; only God knows.
