Abstract
[There have been other Ethiopian figures from the fourteenth century with the name Giyorgis that have been confused with one another at various points. However, the author of the Maṣḥafa Mǝsṭir (“Book of Mystery”) has been considered by most to be Giyorgis of Sagla, or Gasecha. The Maṣḥafa Mǝsṭir provides minimal information about the life and ministry of Giyorgis. However, a fifteenth-century gadl—or “biography”— of Giyorgis provides more detailed information about his life. This volume presents the first English translation of the gadl of Giyorgis as well.]
