    Ff. 37a-38a: On the heresy of those who say that the exist- ence of the Holy Spirit is after the baptism of Christ. (For the 3rd of Temqat [ba-siiles temqat menbiib]). ( •..

(10) Ff. 41b-44b: Homily on Our Lady Mary a s the Virgin Mother of Christ ent itled, "The White Bird with Silver Wings and Golden Torso." (For the feastday of Simeon, the old man). The homily is anonymous, but the style is that of Emperor Zar'a Yii'eqob (1434-1468).

The style and approach of the author, espec ially in the int roduction, are very different from his manner with the other heresies, perhaps because Bitu was a contemporary heretic or because the treatise has been reworked at a later date by another author. (Krestos AmlBkiya wa-tasfiiya, wa-sema Abuhu gerii madganiteya, wa-sema Manfas Qeddus naq'a qeddesiiteya Wa-ye'ezeni nenger zalafiihu la-Bitu, za-yekeDed me~'ata Ab wa-yebe: Yema~~e' Wald enbala Ab .•• ) (12) Ff. 53b-5 6a: Against the Antidicomarianites.

(For [Easter] Saturday). The title of this homily is deceptive. Its main objective is actually to show that observing the Saturday Sabbath is a com- mandment of God that no man can invalidate.

(29) Ff. 203a-208a: A letter from Timothy, Patriarch of Alexandria, against those who do not believe in the equality of the Son with us in flesh and with the Father in existence, sent from Gangra to Alexandria. Zotenberg, no. 113, 2, pp. 129-131. (Ma~e~afa Timotewos, liqa ~a~~asat za-Ela-skendreya, enta ta~e~fat em-Gangera la-Eskendereya gaba retu'ana haymanot, ba'enta 'elewan ella iyya'ammenu kama Krestos 'eruya fetrat we'etu lana za-kona ba-sega, wa-'eruya malakot we'etu mesla helluna Ab.

(Za-be~u' Atnasis la-nab a A[rlwayasan: Qal enka, la-emma Qal we 'etu, albo za-kama-ze, esma I Wald enka sab' kawina ••. ) - (b) Testimony of Julius, Patriarch of Rome, regarding the Incarnation, f. 205a. Textually, this is not the anathema found in the Haymanota abaw, (EMML 1173, f. 115a). However, that anathema, too, is said to have been taken from a book by Timothy [za-kona sem'a Timotewos ba-westa ma~e~aful. (Za-be~u' Yuleyos, liqa ~a~~asat za-Rome, pa'enta tasaggewo Qal: Wa-imentani haba walleto hellawe malakot ... ) - (c) Anathema of Vitalianus [Wetoleyosl, Bishop of Rome, as found in the Fiayrmanota abaw (EMML 1173, f. 155b), but with a significant textual variation, f. 205b. (Za-Wetoleyos, liqa pa~~asat za-Rome, ba'enta haymanota Qal; wa-hallo enka nagaru westa Kebra nagast [probably for: Haymanota abawl ~e~uf, wa-za-be~u' Qerelos, wa-'adi ba'enta sega rade'et za-Madgen ... ) The following is taken from the Haymanota abaw for textual comparison: (Qala gezat em-dersan za-nababa batti Natalis, Liqa ~appasat za-Rome, ba'enta haymanot enta ~~afa be~u' Qerelos, Liqa •.• naba nagast, za-tanagara batti ba'enta Krestos ..• wa-ba'enta ser'ata madOanina ba-sega •.• ) EMML 1399, f. 202a. The form of the name of the bishop, which is preserved here as Witoleyos , is closer to Vitalius than any of the forms known so far, Natalis or Natalis, Wright (B.M.) CCCXLIV, 12, p. 233; and EMML 1173, f. 155b, where Anastasius is erroneously suggested. (d) Testimony of Ambrosius [Emberoseyusl, Bishop of Milan [Madyolinul (12 lines), f. 205b.

(h) Testimony o~ Theophilus, Patriarch o~ Alexandria, "~rom (his) sixth homily ~or Easter," (13 lines), ~. 206a. (Za-be~uc Teyo~elos, liqa ~ar~asat za-Elaskendereya, em-sades dersan za-bacala Fasika: Dersan peyaw wa-za- yeradde' qala Eg" •.. ) (i) Testimony o~ Cyril o~ Alexandria (15 lines), ~. 206a.

(Za-zi'ahu ma~ep~ enta ta~e~at em-Gengera QWa~tan~inos valis, ba'enta celwana haymanot ella iyya'ammenu: cEruya ~e~rat lana za-kona sega, za-we'etu la-Ab Ceruya ••• ) (k) The 12 Anathemas o~ Cyril o~ Alexandria [Wright (B.M.), CCCXLIV, 12, p. 233] condensed, ~~. 207a-208a. (Za-Qerelos gezat: Emma-bo za-iyya'ammen kama Eg" we'etu ba-aman Amanu'el wa-ba'enta-ze waladita Eg" tasamyat ... ) (1) The interpretation o~ the Anathema, ~. 208a.

KWellu qedmehomu we'etu la-ella yeblu wa-yelebbewu, retu C we ·' etu .•• ) These entries (a)-(l) could be treated as a collection o~ testimonies independent o~ each other i~ there were divisions that separated them ~rom one another. Section 29 (~~. 203a- 208a) is not, however, part o~ the Ma~ep~a mes~ir, as is clear when this MS. is compared with other texts o~ the work. Colophon, ~. 208ab: (T~a~~amat zatti ma~ep~, enta astagaba'naha em-qala Orit wa-nabiyat wa-em qala Wangel wa-~awareyat). The rest o~ the colophon is not s~~iciently legible. However, it is quite tempting to suggest that this work o~ Abba Giyorgis has undergone some changes, most probably at the court o~ Zar'a YaCeqob, be~ore it was adopted as a homiliary ~or the year ~ib]to be read publicly in the churches. Such an assumption may account ~or the similarity o~ the style with that o~ the writings o~ the Emperor in sections 10 (~~. 41b-44b), 11 (~~. 45a-53b) and 27 (~~. 177a-186b) and ~or the ~act that this 291 EMML Pr. No. 1831, cont. relatively old manuscript contains works that have never been ascribed thus far to Abba Giyorgis. Curiously, the Maiepafa mestir is ascribed to Abba Giyorgis ~d to Abba Ba~alota Mika'el by the author of the history of Abba Eleyas, nephew of Emperor Zar'a Ya'eqob, unless this is a case of a mere lack of precision in expression: (Wa-sem'a konu latti [i.e. la-Maryam] Ma~eQafa mestir za-Abba Giyorgis wa-Abba Ba~a1ota Mika'el qeddusan, mamQerana qeddest Beta Krestiyan .•. ) EMML 1126, f. 32b. The author, Abba Giyorgis of Sagla~agla, or Gase~~a, (spiritual) son of ~ezba Seyon (walda ~ezba Seyon, f. 34a), with the baptismal name (?) Walda ~awareyat ([wa-enbayna temqateyani Walda ~awareyatl, f. 13a and [la-Iyyasus Walda ~awareyatihu], f. 38a), must have been not only a writer, but also a musician (Giyorgis mageletay, f. 56a), as is also sug- gested in his gadl (EMML 1838).
