Supplied Title:
Homiliary for the monthly commemorations of St. Michael the Archangel [Dersana Mika'el].
Notes To Text:
For each of the months there is a homily, a miracle [ta'ammera Mika'el] and the entry from the Synaxary [Senkesar], recording some intervention of the archangel on behalf of man. The order of the homilies is somewhat different from Vatican Ethiopic MS 82
