The Ethiopic Canon

[Le Neigeden d'antan]

Does anyone know where I might find an English translation of the Sinodos, as well as the other books which are unique to the Ethiopic canon along with a commentary?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Shermana]

The statutes of the apostles; or, Canones ecclesiastici; edited with translation and collation from Ethiopic and Arabic mss.; also a translation of the Saidic and collation of the Bohairic versions; and Saidic fragments

I have been looking for the English version of the Maccabayan for some time now, I hope to find it soon.

Well, IDK if this is helpful, but here are the names of the books in the Sinodos, at least (scroll down to the list of NT books...)
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church

TBH, your best bet is to find your nearest Ethiopian Orthodox church and ask them about this. They'll have way better info.

Thanks. I find the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition very interesting as it is a Christian tradition which is indigenous to Africa, as oppose to one which was introduced by European missionaries during the Age of Exploration. Also, the books that it preserves as part of the Canon are interesting from a historical point of view.

Unfortunately, there is no Ethiopian community where I live. The only two Ethiopians I've ever met aren't Ethiopian Orthodox, either: one is Muslim, and another is an Evangelical Protestant.
