Shalom,

One of the best editions --I'm afraid-- is even older than the edition of
Boyd:

A. Dillmann, Biblia Veteris Testamenti Aethiopica, 5 vols., Lipsiae
1853-94.


May I refer you for some additional information to ABD, vol. 4, esp. p.
809a. The author (R. Zuurmond) refers to two studies by Ullendorf, 1968:34
and Knibb 1988:12, who list 20th century editions. In case you have no
immediate access to ABD, please mail me off-list, and I will provide the
additional bibliographical information.

Regards,
Raymond

PS, use the following e-mail address for the moment: rdehoop AT tref.nl. The
address of my regular provider is unaccessable because there is a
breakdown.
