M. Arnauld d'Antoine had obtained a letter in two languages, one of which, the Ilmorna, has an alphabet wholly unknown: he also discovered a MS. in two volumes quarto, on vellum, in Amharic, composed by the favourite companion of Mohammed Grañ, the Tamerlane of Abyssinia, whose exploits are only known by extracts from Ludolf and Bruce. This MS. abounds in descriptions and names of places from Harar Geï to Sennár ...' (Greenough 1841:lv-lvi).},
