About this edition
Recorded completeness: Complete supplied Platt 1834 historical English translation window, printed pp.1–131, with title, English preface, historical Latin canon table, English section contents and English notes. Main bilingual pages: retained source LINE indices separate readable lower English text from the upper Ethiopic OCR; exact boundary map saved with source. Final supplied page ends mid-sentence and the source marks its manuscript text incomplete; missing text is not invented. Greek/Arabic introductory specimens, garbled Ethiopic section column and separate Ethiopic vocabulary appendix are excluded from this English Reader edition, while full original scan XML/TXT remains immutable. Notes may quote imperfectly OCRed ancient-language tokens; no cleaned Ge’ez original-language edition is claimed.. Available reading sections are listed below.
