Divinatory and Astrological Texts <p>No specific owner's name is identifiable throughout, though
several prayers contain the name of a certain Gäbrä Mika'él Täsämma
(sometimes just given as Gäbrä Täsämma). In addition, one of the
loose bifolia contains a picture of a certain Ato Amarä Zäbehéral (?
end of the second name unclear). The various hands, all of which are
of poor quality, together with the paintings on the inserts, which
show some western pigments, are indicative of a late 19th cent.
date. </p><p> The text comprises a typîcal däbtära's manual of
various magico-medical, divinatory and astrological texts together
with sample talismanic drawings. Notable is the set of charts from
the divinatory text, the Awdâ Nägäst, or Cycle of the Kings. </p><p>

drawing in the form of an eight-pointed star and a chart. The

and charts.</p><p>For each of the months of the year, followed by a
numerical chart given the hours of daylight and darkness for the
month of Tahsas.</p><p>An Ethiopian text probably originally
composed in the 15th cent., which by means of circular tables [awd]
allows the diviner or fortune teller to find answers to specific
questions posed by his clients. The 16 tables are each named after
Ethiopian lakes or rivers.</p><p>In Amharic, with some
