The Senodos is one of the largest works in the Ethiopic literature.
Probably translated in different times from more Arabic "Vorlagen"
and partially arranged according to the Pseudo-apostolic literary
gender, it is one of the big canon law collections of the Christian
Oriental Churches. In Ethiopia it was the main source of Canon Law
and the most authoritative work in ecclesiastical matter since the
end of the XIII up to the middle of the XVII century. The Senodos
strongly affected the religious history of the early Solomonic
Ethiopia and played a particular role in the birth of new religious
trends in the crucial centuries from its first appearing (XIII
century) up to king Zar'a Ya'qob's age (1434-1468). The present
book presents the first critical edition of ten of the eleven texts
of the Pseudo-apostolic section of the work (about 90 % of the text
is inedited). The critical edition is based on a total average of
more than 30 mss. and tries to restore the oldest text and to
provide rich evidence of its history. The translation is furnished
with references to quotations of the Senodos in other Ethiopic
works as well as comparison with the Arabic text.
