    Gadla Abuna Hara Dengel: Textual and Historical Analysis
    (Addis Ababa University, 2007) Fitsum Tadesse ; Paolo Marrassini
    The thesis describes and analyzes two hagiographical manuscripts on Abuna Mara Dengel who lived in the seventeenth century. The first one is referred to as the Ziinziilema Manuscript (ZM) (Ziinz§.lema- a monastery near Bahr Dar where Mara Dengel lived as a h ermit), is believed to have been written 69 years after his death. The second one termed as Merkato Raguel Manuscript (MRM) is dated at the time of king Menellik II. The study compares both Manuscripts for philological study. And it contains addition of new words, relieving of words, morphological comparison, homoteleuton error, negativity of words and metathesis. But for additional analysis it uses ZM that is for significance, historical and religious value. So ZM has good historical details since it was written at the reign of king Susenyous (1608-1632) who welcomed the J esuits and who himself was converted to Catholicism. His conversion to Catholicism brought unstable political administration. Many citizens and Christian subjects died, wounded and exiled. About the religious teaching the ZM embodies the Orthodox exegetical (commentary) teaching of Christology- the Incarnation of Divinity and Humanity or God and Man besides other traditional historical and Biblical teachings against the Jesuits two nature theory. The research result shows the necessities of both manuscripts are important in dealing the textual and historical analysis of the seventeenth century besides its religious propaganda.
