Text. George H. Schodde, Journal of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, 1885. Public domain by age. Schodde's English of the Ge'ez Apostolic Canons, recovered from the scan by the word coordinates. His roman numbering is the one printed; two of his headings did not survive the scan and their canons read on inside the canon before them. Not audited.
