ABSTRACT
The results of the "hunt for Aksumite texts" – in particular, the existence of a Greek Vorlage for the Epistle 70 by Cyprian of Carthage - stimulated the continuation of the study of the Ethiopic "Corpus canonum". The philological analysis has revealed in detail the relationships between Aksumite collection, and the Sinodos, as well as with other works. This discovery sheds much light on Ethiopian literary tradition with respect to its articulation and trasmission between Aksumite and Post-Aksumite periods. The review of internal evidence in the mss. of the Sinodos can be paralleled by a review of the external evidence, i.e. in other literary texts. This chapter list these other texts according to their chronological order. The comparison between the Aksumite collection and the Sinodos reveals various texts for which we have a double recension in Ethiopic.
