Bibliotheca Abessinica: Studies Concerning the Languages,
Literature, and History of Abyssinia is a collection of Abyssinian
works in both English and Ethiopic, or the Ge'ez language. This
edition contains Volume I: The Legend of the Queen of Sheba in
Axum, in English and Ge'ez with textual notes from editor Enno
Littmann; Volume II: The Text of the Ethiopic Version of the
Octateuch, with Special Reference to the Age and Value of the
Haverford Manuscript, in English with editor's notes; and Volume
III, Part II: The Octateuch in Ethiopic, Exodus and Leviticus, in
Ge'ez and edited by J. Oscar Boyd. The hard-to-find third volume is
complemented by its English counterpart and useful to any student
of Abyssinian literature or Littmann's research. ENNO LITTMANN
(1875-1958) was a German professor and orientalist who translated
and authored several books (including a translation of One Thousand
and One Nights). He was a master of Ethiopian and Arabic
literature. Littmann is best-known for his time spent studying in
Ethiopia, where he stayed with the Mensa (Tigr ) in Eritrea and
wrote the well-known Princeton Expedition to Abyssinia about
Ethiopian culture and music. He also studied in Aksum, where he
tried his hand at archaeology and uncovered many artifacts and
wrote dozens of translations during his stay.
