520 3    |a In Ethiopic manuscripts the Psalter and extracts from the Old and New Testaments are generally found together. This one includes the Psalms of David (Mazmura Dāwit) and the Praises of Mary (Wǝddāse Māryām), which are learned and memorised in traditional Ethiopian schools. Monks are required to recite all 150 psalms every week - 30 psalms a day for five days. Secular priests recite at least 50 psalms a week. The Waddase Maryam is also recited before religious services. It is ascribed to St Ephraim (306-373), the Syrian poet-theologian, whose influence may have reached Ethiopia in the sixth century with the arrival of the nine saints from Rum (the Byzantine empire), who introduced monasticism, founded several monasteries and encouraged manuscript production (Text by Tania Tribe, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.)
