This book commemorates one of the towering figures in the field of Ethiopian Studies, Emeritus Professor Getatchew Haile (01 June 1932 – 10 June 2021). He was the most prolific Ethiopian philologist of his generation, having authored more than 150 books and scholarly articles on Gəʿəz and its literary tradition. His contributions to the broader field of Ethiopian studies—and to Gəʿəz manuscript studies in particular—are of such magnitude that no single volume could fully encompass or honor his scholarly legacy. Nevertheless, this publication, the first of its kind to be initiated in Ethiopia by an Ethiopian scholar, seeks to be counted among the efforts made to celebrate his extraordinary life and enduring academic achievements. The editor extends sincere gratitude to all the contributors whose work has made this volume possible.
