Beschreibung:
The central aim of the present dissertation is to advance the knowledge about the diachronic development of the corpus of Dǝggʷā-type antiphons as transmitted in manuscript and printed form within the Ethiopic written culture. The dissertation opens with an introduction to the topic, drawing on previous research (Chapter 1), and a detailed presentation of a corpus consisting of forty-seven manuscripts and two printed editions, dating from between pre-mid-fourteenth-century times and the twentieth century, and comprising all but one of the known pre-seventeenth-century manuscripts (Chapter 2). Then follow three studies in which different aspects of the development of Dǝggʷā-type antiphon collections are addressed: developments on the textual level (Chapter 3), developments in the mise en texte (Chapter 4), and developments in one of the systems for musical categorisation used indigenously for classifying Dǝggʷā-type antiphons (Chapter 5). The dissertation ends with a brief summary of the results and an outlook on related topics that remain to be studied (Chapter 6).
