The London BL Or 509 is a parchment codex of the 18th century (read the BL usage statement below). It is made of 160 folia, each folio containing three columns of 23 lines. Mark 16: 1-20 appears on f. 68r-69r. The London BL Or 509 is the sole witness for the E recension of the Ge’ez Gospel of Mark, the so-called “Alexandrian Vulgate”. This recension is the result of a thorough revision of the Ge’ez text on the basis of the Arabic Textus Receptus. The Arabic Alexandrian Vulgate was first edited by Raimondi (1591). It is very likely that the Ge’ez text was directly translated from Raimondi’s printed edition. Indeed, the miniatures of the BL Or 509 shows clear influences of the woodcuts published in Raimondi’s edition. The BL Or 509 preserves the long ending of Mark (16:9-20), which is then followed by a subscription detailing the circumstances under which Mark is supposed to have written his gospel.

The Paris BnF éthiopien 32 is a manuscript written on parchment. It is dated to the 13th century, though S. Grébaut would rather date it to the third quarter of the 14th century. It contains 207 folia, each folio containing two columns of 26-27 lines. Mark 16: 1-20 appears on f. 100v-102r. The Paris BnF éthiopien 32 is an interesting witness to the Ab recension (according to R. Zuurmond’s classification), which is extant in only three manuscripts (the other two being Abba Garima 2 and London BFBS Eth. 193). The Ab recension is one of the most ancient recensions of the Ge’ez Gospel of Mark, dating back to the Zagwe dynasty (12th-13th c.). But, more importantly, the Paris BnF éthiopien 32 is among the oldest undated Ethiopic manuscripts preserving the shorter ending of Mark (16:9 or conclusio brevior), which is then immediately followed by the long ending (16:9-20). There is no break or sign of transition between the shortest ending (16:8), the shorter ending (16:9) and the long ending (16:9-20). Damien Labadie (CNRS) © SNSF Project MARK16 CC BY 4.0 |

The manuscript EMML 1832 is a famous codex generally known under the title of Tetravangelion of Iyasus Mo’a. It was the property of Iyasus Mo’a (1214-1293 C.E.), abbot of the monastery of Dabra Ḥayq Esṭifānos on Lake Ḥayq. It contains the four Gospels. Mark 16:1-20 appears on f. 179r-180v, including the conclusio brevior (f. 179v). Apart from its magnificent illuminations, this manuscript is noteworthy for its great antiquity. Indeed, according to a short notice on f. 23r, this manuscript was copied in the year 1280/1 C.E. at the behest of Iyasus Mo’a himself. As a consequence, this Ethiopic codex might be the oldest dated manuscript preserving the shorter ending of Mark in this language. Damien Labadie (CNRS) © SNSF Project MARK16 CC BY 4.0 |

The manuscript NALE 28 (olim NALE 266 and NALE A.5) of the National Library of Ethiopia is one of the oldest illuminated Gospel book. Copied in the first half of the fourteenth century C.E., this codex came from the monastery of Dabra Ḥayq Esṭifānos. Specialists generally assume that this copy was the property of Krestos Tasfāna, third abbot of the Dabra Ḥayq Esṭifānos monastery, hence the name Tetravangelion of Krestos Tasfāna under which this manuscript is usually referred to. Mark 16:1-20 appears on f. 168v-170r, including the conclusio brevior (f. 169r). Damien Labadie (CNRS) © SNSF Project MARK16 CC BY 4.0 |
