Description
The Ethiopian Church kept a wider Bible than the West: 88 books, including Enoch, Jubilees and the Meqabyan. Many of these writings dropped out of Western Bibles over the centuries. This restored edition gathers all 88 in the traditional order of the Ethiopian canon, in type large enough to read for hours.
