The PEMM Team Explores Täˀammərä Maryam Manuscripts at Firestone Library

In the summer of 2022, the PEMM team gathered at Princeton's Firestone Library to view ten extraordinary parchment manuscripts of Ethiopian Marian miracles from Princeton’s Rare Books and Special Collections. These manuscripts dated from the 1600s through the 1900s contain over 500 Ethiopian Marian miracles and are fundamental to the inception of the PEMM project.
