About this product
Product Information
The text in this volume (with its translation) is from the writings of Emperor Zar'a Ya eqob, the prolific scholar who reformed the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in the fifteenth century. In this homily, which is part of his previously published Mashafa Berhan Book of Light (see CSCO vols. 250/Script. Aeth. 47 and 261/Script. Aeth. 51), he addresses in detail the ritual of Christian baptism and the requirement of religious instruction for the baptized faithful as well as the would-be baptized catechumens. The ritual for adults is discussed and defined with thoroughness and clarity t found in any other source. Significantly, the text suggests that there was at that time a large number of n-Christians who converted to Orthodox Christianity, either of their own free will or due to pressure from Christian rulers, including the Emperor. As always, Zar'a Ya eqob uses his authority to enforce religious instruction as he details it. He prescribes harsh corporal punishment, usually flogging, to individuals who do t attend school without acceptable excuses-which are illness and going on military expeditions- as well as to clergy who neglect their duty to teach and to district rulers who do t force people to come to school. A close study of the homily sheds some interesting light on the history of Ethiopic literature. For example, the extensive quotation from Acts is t from the text we w kw. This detail corroborates what is kwn that the book was translated anew after the time of Zar'a Ya eqob. A second example is Zar'a Ya eqob's quotation of John Chrysostom. That he quotes from his homily in the Apophthegmata Patrum shows that this source was well kwn in Ethiopia prior to the fifteenth century.

Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++
