    Historical and Philological Analysis of Gädlä Mäz∂ra‘∂tä k∂r∂stos
    (Addis Ababa University, 2010-09) Esayas, Betemaryam; Habtu, Hailu (PhD)
    Mäz∂ra‘∂tä k∂r∂stos lived in 17th and 18th cent.A.D. He established a monastery in Ad∂wa wäräda near Yäha which is named after him. He established his monastery after he received land-grant from king Fasiledes. The primary source of his biography is his Gädl(vita) which was copied in 1926 E.C whose archetype has been destroyed by fire. It deals extensively with the life of the saint with some facts of that era. Though its historical significance is minimal, it discusses the saint’s close relationship with the then monarchs. The paper is intended to present an edition and translation of Gädlä Mäz∂ra‘∂tä k∂r∂stos.
