For more information, consult the 450-page online catalog Ethiopic Manuscripts in the Princeton University Library. Willsie, Class of 1986, has been the principal donor of Ethiopic manuscripts, especially magic scrolls. In the years since the Garrett donation, Ethiopic manuscript holdings have continued to grow by gift and purchase. The beginning of the book of Genesis (up to 1:28) and the end of Deuteronomy (after 33:1) are lost. The following year, Littmann led a German expedition to Aksum. The Burnt Codex (MS Add.1846) is an 11th - 12th century manuscript of the Samaritan Pentateuch. Garrett acquired the bulk of his Ethiopic manuscripts from the eminent German philologist Enno Littmann, who led a Princeton expedition to Tigray in 1905. Princeton's best Ethiopic manuscripts were collected by Robert Garrett, Class of 1897, and donated to Princeton in 1942. ![]() There are also several manuscripts illuminated in the Second (or late) Gondar style, which emerged in the old imperial capital of Gondar in northern Ethiopia from the 1720s and 1730s. Text manuscripts include Gospel Books, Psalters, the Book of Enoch, homilies, liturgy, chant, saints’ lives and miracles, theology, law, and compilations of texts related to divination and popular magic. Basic local alignment search tool (BLAST)-based identification and phylogeny-based identification using the data set of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences is required to determine the species identities of the fungal strains.The Manuscripts Division has one of the largest collections of Ethiopic manuscripts outside Ethiopia, including nearly 180 codices (bound manuscripts) and more than 500 magic scrolls (amulets), dating from the 17th to 20th centuries, chiefly written in Ge'ez, the sacred language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, with small amounts of text in Amharic. Three fungal isolates could not be described and were grouped as Mycelia sterilia. Morphological characterization described the fungal isolates in the genera of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Eurotium. The fungal isolates were xerophilic in nature. Twenty fungal isolates were able to grow on the old paper strips indicating that the old manuscripts are liable to fungal degradation. ![]() The paper strips were inoculated with cell suspension at a concentration of approximately 1 × 10 7 cell/mL. Detection of fungal deterioration on paper was investigated by using paper strip method with old paper of European origin on Czapek’s Dox Agar (CDA) without carbon source.

Twenty-two fungal isolates were obtained by sterile cotton swab and the culture-dependent method on Dichloran Glycerol Agar (DG18). Observation by loop was carried out in the field to determine the type of paper and to detect biodeterioration of the manuscripts. All manuscripts showed brown and black spots, and fungal spores on the surfaces. Cambridge University Library holds the largest and most important collection of the scientific works of Isaac Newton (1642-1727). The objectives of this study were to isolate and morphologically characterize fungi from nine old manuscripts of European origin. Sir Isaac Newton ( MS Add.3996, 88r) Trinity College, Cambridge. However, it needs an attempt to understand the ancient texts that. We owe this to the efforts of two wealthy book collectors, Chester Beatty and Martin Bodmer. Today, teaching history using an ancient manuscript still rarely carried out by the teachers. In the 30s and 60s of the twentieth century a number of other, very important manuscripts have become available. Keraton Kasepuhan Cirebon has collection of five old manuscripts of European origin from 19 th century, and the former library of Faculty of Humanities Universitas Indonesia has collection of four old manuscripts of European paper origin from 19–20 th centuries. Most of them are not very old manuscripts anyhow, and in textual criticism it is age and quality that counts, not mere quantity. ![]()
