[quote:Undestroyer:MV8zMjE4NjAwXzU3NTI3Nzg2X0Q0RjVEM0M=] [quote:Jai_Guru_Jesus_Om:MV8zMjE4NjAwXzU3NTExNDIxXzk0OUJCNDA=] Does it include the mysterious "Book of the Wars of Yahweh"? (Referenced in the Old testament) I would love to get my hands on THAT. (I have a suspicion that it echoes Bhagavad Gita) [/quote] Maybe that is one of the 7 books that seem to be mentioned in the article... Nice insight... I remember that reference now that you mention it. [/quote]

Interesting
This is still all after the first council of Nicea in 325 but it is from that time period after so Justinian approved?
Most likely, the monk was an emissary from Contantinople after all.

Written in Ge’ez an ancient dead language of Ethiopia it’s nearly 800 years older than the King James Version and contains 81-88 books compared to 66. It includes the Book of ENOCH, Esdras, Buruch and all 3 Books of MACCABEE, and a host of others that was excommunicated from the KJV.
The incredible Garima Gospels are named after a monk who arrived in the African country in the fifth century and is said to have copied them out in just one day.
Beautifully illustrated, the colours are still vivid and thanks to the Ethiopian Heritage Fund have been conserved.
Abba Garima arrived from Constantinople in 494 AD and legend has it that he was able to copy the gospels in a day because God delayed the sun from setting.
The incredible relic has been kept ever since in the Garima Monastery near Adwa in the north of the country, which is in the Tigray region at 7,000 feet.
Experts believe it is also the earliest example of book binding still attached to the original pages.
The survival of the Gospels is incredible considering the country has been under Muslim invasion, Italian invasion and a fire in the 1930s destroyed the monastery’s church.
They were written on goat skin in the early Ethiopian language of Ge’ez.
There are two volumes which date from the same time, but the second is written in a different hand from the first. Both contain illustrations and the four Gospels.
