拍品描述 翻译
Mid 19th century AD. A vellum scroll consisting of three pieces sewn together with stitched repairs to the top of the scroll; two columns of text framed by thin lightly coloured margins and separated by a central margin, written in black with the usual rubrics, comprising: prayer of Susneyos; the secret names of Solomon; a text described as 'how Our Lady expelled the demons and cured the sick ...'; three prayers: the Qal? Musé, or Words of Moses; a prayer against barya and buda; a prayer against stomach pains or cramps; two coloured paintings covering the width of the scroll, one placed centrally and one at the end of the scroll, one with two guardian angels standing face-on and holding drawn swords, the other with an ornamental cross, on the left an unidentified figure and on the right a demon, text beneath the figures reading 'for there is nothing that God cannot do'; the name of the owner of the scroll, inserted in red, is W?l?tt? Iy?sus; in a couple of places the second part of her name has been roughly erased and replaced by the name Heyw?t. See Mercier, J., Ethiopian Magic Scrolls, New York, 1979, pl.15; a scroll perhaps almost certainly by the same painter is in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, Ethiopian 420.98 grams, 15.5 x 184cm (6 x 73 1/2"). From the private collection of David Buxton (1910-2003), author of 'Travels in Ethiopia', 1949; accompanied by a copy of a collector's catalogue and information page. The magic scrolls of Ethiopia use the power of images viewed by a sick person to heal himself. Their preparation by dabataras, who are unordained clerics commissioned by the patient, and their employment within Christian families has continued into the second half of the present century. Dabataras are skilled in diagnosing the causes of illnesses or psychological complaints and in treating them through the powerful images and prayers set out on the scrolls, combined often with traditional medical remedies. The talismans and prayers act on the spiritual cause of the sickness and the plant and animal medicines on their symptoms (e.g. skin ailments"). The scrolls are often protective rather than merely curative and for this purpose the animal skins on which they are written are sewn together to cover the length of the body, so as to provide overall protection. The scrolls are often also used by sons and daughters and later descendants. The prayers and texts are Christian, with the demonology being associated principally with the Old Testament (e.g. the Book of Enoch), going back for instance to the secret names of God, to Gog and Magog, and to the talismans for exorcising devils from those possessed which were known only to celestial beings. King Solomon and his beheading of the Demon- blacksmith King plays a leading role, with the ‘Net of Solomon’ being a prayer which is frequently cited (Solomon catches the demons like fish in a net); but Alexander the Great has also been transposed into a Christian King who commands demons to disappear, having himself ascended to Paradise on a winged and feather-tailed horse. The Saints of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church also appear: for instance, the Hermit Saint Manfus Qeddus is an exorcist of leprosy. Christian imagery and prayers predominate, with the Rampart of the Cross, a composite of prayers relating to the crucifixion and the Cross being a very common text. Elements of Zar cults merged with Bible stories are frequently present. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
