What this record describes
"Ethiopian Coptic Bible Leaf(s) on vellum (animal skin). Two sided. Red typically indicates the name(s) of those who are holy - the Almighty, Jesus, the Holy Ghost. Scribes did not date these Bibles, nor were the books numbered as the Bibles we are typically familiar with. These leaves, therefore, probably date a few hundred years as scribes no longer copied the Bible in Coptic after the mid 1800's.
