From the Ethiopian collection @stabiberlin.bsky.social: Ms.or.quart.1167 contains 18 sewn-in miniatures from five manuscripts. A Leporello panel (f.184v) depicts the Kidāna Mǝḥrat (Covenant of Mercy): Christ consoles Mary and promises salvation to all who pray to him in her name. #Qalamos #Ethiopia
