| dc.description.abstract | This thesis describes and analyzes the historical and philological significance of the three Manuscripts of the chronicles of Iylisu I who ruled Ethiopia from 1682- 1706. The first one referred to as the Manuscript of Tarik1i N1ig1ist (Ms- A), is found in the Institute of Ethiopian Studies. This Manuscript is believed to have been written in the early J9'h century. The second one termed as Manuscript of the history of king of kings Iylisu I (Ms-B), was copied from Ms- A by M.RENE BASSET. It was written in the late J91h century and is also found in the Institute of Ethiopian Studies. The third Manuscript is Manuscript of Annales Regis Iylisu I (Ms-C), which was edited by Ignazio Giudi in mid 201h century. The study describes the historical facts during the period of Emperor Iylisu I and compares and contrasts the first two Manuscripts from the philological point of view. There are omissions of words, repetition of the same words, morphological comparison, homoteleuton error, and the influence of Amharic words. However, both have good historical details of the late medieval period. About the religious teachings, the Manuscripts embodied the orthodox teachings of Christology- the Incarnation of Divinity and Humanity or God and Man besides other traditional history and Biblical teachings. Therefore the major finding of the research indicates that both Manuscripts are important in dealing with the history, linguistics and religion of the time and also for textual comparison. | en_US |
