These findings, which have been mainly overlooked, offer tangible evidence for the connected histories of Ethiopic and Syriac Christianity. I begin the series here with a line of Syriac found in MS Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Or. 148. This composite Ethiopic manuscript, most, if not all, of which can be dated to the fifteenth century, is among the oldest and most important sources for the synodical literature of Ethiopic Christians. In addition to containing a line of Syriac, this manuscript is also—seemingly unrelated—a unique witness to the Ethiopic version of the Syriac Demonstration 8 associated with Aphrahaṭ (fl. 336–345).
