Recipe Details
Evidence
"in 1925 (Ethiopian Christian calendar) an Argobba shaykh told me [he was] in possession of an Amharic Qur’an written on parchment."
Remarks
The author, Alessandro Gori, notes that the detail of an Amharic Qur’an written on parchment is 'extremely interesting', as Islamic manuscripts in Ethiopia, unlike Christian ones in the same region, are 'exclusively on paper' (p. 246, Note 13). This sample represents a rare reported exception to the regional material norm.
