About This Item
New Haven, Conn: American Oriental Society, 1945. First edition. Softcover. g. 8vo. 188pp. Original wrappers. "The publication of this work was undertaken to fill a gap in our knowledge of the Ethiopic language. The language of Gafat is mentioned in many studies of Ethiopic, but its structure and position in the Ethiopic languages could not be determined up to now since not a single study of this language was available." Volume 28 of "American Oriental Series." Age wear, sunning and heavy chipping on wraps. Head and tail of spine chipped. Wraps detached but present, edges of wraps brittle. First and last leaf sunned. Wrappers in fair, interior in very good condition. From the last library of Professor Leslau.
