Yeah, this one is quite interesting. Re: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=247847&stc=1&d=1758001156

I see that there is a presentation of this book at Mandarin Mansion in Haarlem on the 27th. Is anyone going there? It would be nice to meet some fellow collectors in person.

Just to add, the alphabet pictured above does not include characters that represent syllables. You can find a much more complete version here (https://www.omniglot.com/writing/ethiopic.htm).
