Pricking and Ruling in Ethiopic Manuscripts: an Aid for Dating?

DOI

The essay explores the pricking and ruling in Ethiopic manuscripts. A few variations exist in the relative arrangement of the constituent elements defining the page layout: pricks, ruled lines, upper and bottom written lines. Four arrangement patterns of these elements have been established. A chronology of the patterns may be suggested and used as an additional aid for dating manuscripts.
