The Books of the Old Testament, translated into the Amharic language by Abba Rukh, an Abyssinian Learned. For the first time corrected and edited in England by the Rev. Thomas Platt, M.A. Now improved after the Hebrew Original by the Rev. Dr. Krapf in Germany:
First Part containing
- The five books of Moses. The book of Joshua. The book of Judges. The book of Ruth. St. Chrischona: Mission Press, 1871.
Remark
The Amharic and English title pages do not mention the “natives”, with whose help Krapf revised the first part of the Old Testament (Report of the BFBS 69 [1873], p. 430).
Krapf’s coworkers included:
- Mika’el Aregawi (very likely)
- Haylu Wossen (probably if the book was printed after July 1871)
