Add to ORKGThis booklet contains a Latin translation and linguistic study of a subset (Chapter 44) of the medieval Ethiopian legal codex known as the Fetha Negest, or Law of the Kings . The paper was presented to the teaching faculty at Halle-Wittenberg University on 26 May 1841 by the two authors, both of whom were Latin scholars at the Halle Orphan House (Schola Latina Orphanotrophei Halensis). The booklet contains a title page, a three-page preface, nineteen pages of the original text in Ge\u27ez (Ethiopic) paired with Latin translations, a page of notes, twenty-seven pages of annotations containing comparative linguistic studies, and a summary page of the thesis.https://academicworks.cuny.edu/bc_arch_hess/1049/thumbnail.jp
