Sender: Rare book and manuscripts <EXLIBRIS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU>
Greetings,
I was helping out in a library's special collections and came across two Ethiopian volumes about which the library has very little information. I would be curious to hear what further information about these volumes I could glean from the collective wisdom of Exlibris.
Pictures of the volumes are posted on my flickr account

Some more comments about the volumes, as well as one expert's insights are posted on my blog
http://librarypreservation.blogspot.com/2008/01/ethiopian-books-n-such_24.html
I'm particularly interested in hearing if people have any estimates of age, and seeing that there are many dealers on the list, value.
thanks for any assistance,
Kevin
