Abstract
This thesis focuses on the Mss of Gadla Abuna Muse. The reason why the
researcher selected this topic is that the Gadl contains much valuable new
information. It is not well known among the general public and has not been
studied deeply by scholars, although it constitutes a rich source of historical,
religious and cultural events of the epoch.
The study uses a comparative methodology, whereby two mss, that is, mss
Yad;)ba Mar;)yam (MAl, Yab ra Mad;)hane'alem (MB), are compared for their
similarities and differences.
Chapter one consists of the background of the study, review of related
literature, statement of the problem, as well as the objectives, methodology,
scope and significance of the study.
In Chapter two, the researcher makes an analysis, including a list of the four
mss of Gadla Abuna Muse.
Chapter three includes a historical analysis of the Gadl and biography of
Abuna Muse.
Chapter four presents a critical edition of a small part of Gi:idli:i Abuna Muse
based on the two manuscripts MA and MB.
In chapter five, the researcher presents a few comparative and philological
notes on the Mss.
Chapter six presents the conclusion and recommendations.
