- Title:
- Motta Giyorgis Collection [16th-20th centuries]
- Scope & Content:
-
The content of the collection covers religion, philosophy, history, social law and statecraft, culture, and the technical sciences including Mathematics and Astronomy, Astrology, Architecture, Medicine and the Fine Arts and several allied subjects.
Arrangement and condition of original material: Priceless volumes lie on the dirty floor, or piled up disordered one on top of another, without of course there being any idea of shelves of any kind. Most of the andemta manuscripts archived in the collection are in good condition although they are visibly endangered archived in an old and sensitive to fire eqa bet (store house).
