    (Addis Ababa Universiy, 2021-09) Lidetewold, Ayisanew; Assefa, Dr. Abba Daniel
    Throughout history, literary knowledge and wisdom is a part of human life. As we know,Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries that developed a rich literature. Most of the ancient Manuscripts that reflect this literature are studied by foreign scholars, in their own languages for their national institutions. Yet there is still much to be studied both abroad and locally. Modern studies to be carried out by Ethiopian scholars face the challenge of financial constraints and lack of research material.This research intends to offer a content analysis of selected readings from Mäśǝhafä Hawi, more precisely the readings that focus on the theme of revenge, with their annotated translations. This thesis follows a qualitative approach. Both primary and secondary data sources are treated textually and philologically based on the study of revenge.The conclusions of the study have mainly focused on the analysis of the selected texts from the readings of Mäśǝhafä Hawi. The selected texts are approached philologically and translated by paying attention to foreign and ambiguous words. Besides, the alphabetical errors are edited.Furthermore, the thesis attempts to analyze the selected portions from the manuscript. The background history and philological works for Mäśǝhafä Hawi are taken into consideration.The conceptual implications are discussed to achieve the goal of the study and for the better understanding of human society. This research on the Book of Hawi will hopefully open the door for further studies on this area.Finally, it is hoped that the study of such texts will contribute to the society at large by inspiring all ecclesiastical, governmental and private organizations who are concerned with the values of forgiveness, reconciliation and peace.
