Praises of the Cross, Wǝddase Mäsqäl, by Abba Giyorgis of Gasǝč̣č̣a

One of the many works of Abba Giyorgis of Gasǝč̣č̣a/SäŠgla (d. 1527) is a Wǝddase Mäsqäl “Praises of the Cross”, a work which previously was known only from Abba Giyorgis’s Acts (Gädl) and oral tradition. Recently, however, the Ethiopian Manuscript Microfilm Library, Addis Abäba/Collegeville, has discovered and microfilmed a 16th-century copy of the text, EMML 504, edited and translated here. In the work Abba Giyorgis reviews the symbolic prophecies in the Old Testament relating to the Incarnation of the Word. The Wǝddase Mäsqäl is an exceedingly high quality literary work, even by the author’s famously high standards.

The Ethiopian Manuscript Microfilm Library

The Ethiopian Manuscript Microfilm Library (EMML) is a joint project of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library (HMML) (formerly Monastic Manuscript Microfilm Library) of St. John's Abbey and University, Collegeville, Minnesota, U.S.A. Professor Walter Harrelson, former Dean of the Divinity School at Vanderbilt University, is Chairman; Dr. Julian G. Plante, Director of HMML and Research Professor of Classics in St. John's University, is Vice-Chairman; and Dr. Sergew Hable Selassie, Professor of History in Addis Ababa University, is Project Director. Grateful acknowledgement for the funding of this project must be made to the National Endowment for the Humanities, Washington, D.C.EMML was established at the urging of His Holiness Abuna Tewoflos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, who was much concerned about the dangers of irreparable damage and loss to the manuscript treasures of his Church. The purpose of the project is twofold: To preserve on microfilm the precious treasures of manuscripts and to make those source materials available for study by scholars both within and outside Ethiopia. Efforts are also being directed toward obtaining copies of Ethiopian manuscripts outside of Ethiopia.Actual photographic operations are being carried out by an Ethiopian team in conjunction with Xerox University Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A., where the film is processed. Positive and negative copies are sent to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has founded a center for the purpose at Addis Ababa, and positive copy is sent to HMML in Collegeville, where interested students and scholars may come for consultation and study. HMML is a research center with a focus on medieval and renaissance manuscripts on microfilm.
