    (Addis Ababa University, 2010-06) Dinberu, Fisseha; Galaw, Sergew (PhD)
    This paper deals with the Gädl of Mäba’ Ṣeyon, his life and work. He was a painter, organizer of canons, strong teacher and apocalyptic. The Vita provides fundamental information concerning the historical, socio-cultural and religious events and facts of the epoch. The main objective of the paper is to make a comparative analysis of different versions of the Gädl of Mäba’ Ṣeyon and to comment on the differences. In addition to this, the researcher tried to identify the historical and theological significance of the text in the light of its own time. The methods employed here are selecting the most relevant Mss after digitalizing, giving reasonable identification, giving adequate philological description, making appropriate classification of the text according to the life of the saint and finally identify the major differences. And therefore it has been found that there are different errors, miss statements and incongruities found when passing from one text to the other text. Besides this, the life and work of the Saint is very important in understanding the canonical and theological position of the Church as well as the literary tradition of Ethiopia.
