    Philological and Linguistic Analysis on Harari Ağami Manuscript of Kitāb al-farāiḍ: Text Edition with Its Modern Harari Version and Some Linguistic Notes
    (Addis ababa University, 2025-05-11) Abdulhamid Abdulahi; Muna Abubeker
    This study aims to produce a critical edition of the Kitāb al-farā’iḍ, a significant text for understanding Harari heritage, by conducting a comparative analysis of five distinct manuscripts alongside the widely recognized audio recording of its recitation from the Harari community. Incorporating both oral and written approach provides a comprehensive and culturally contextualized edition. The study addresses manuscript variations in structure, attributions, and orthography through the lens of living oral traditions and external textual evidence. The final edition offers a uniquely valuable resource for scholars of the Harari language, Islamic studies, and Ethiopian manuscript traditions, facilitating deeper linguistic and textual analysis while emphasizing the importance of considering orality in textual editions. Moreover, by integrating a modern Harari version this work will enhance accessibility, thereby contributing to the preservation and appreciation of this vital cultural heritage.
