Original Recipe Text
The manuscript is a monumental biblical 'Octateuch' written on parchment (p. 119). The colophon explicitly mentions 'parchment makers' (sarāḥta berānnā) as distinct from the scribes (p. 119).
Evidence
"The colophon demonstrates that in this case the ‘parchment makers’, sarāḥta berānnā, are definitely figures distinct from the copyists... And bless the makers of parchment, because they laboured much."
Remarks
This manuscript (Martini etiop. 5) provides evidence of the professional distinction between scribes and parchment makers in 15th-century Ethiopia (p. 119). It consists of 195 folia in 2 columns (p. 119).
