76 leaves, all but a few written on both sides in black ink. Approximately 14x10 cm (5½x4"), hand-stitched with original wooden boards, placed inside the original two-part sliding leather traveling case with leather ties. Written in the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script, a Semitic language that is no longer spoken, but is still used for liturgical and other religious purposes by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The subjects of these "Bibles" are always Christian, but actual content varies. Shows a nice patina of age and usage, perforations along fore-edge side of pages throughout, done during the book production process.
