Collection

Weiner

A structured and numerically significant collection of Muslim Ethiopian codices recently (2011) set up by Mr Gerald Weiner, a financier and philanthropist, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. This collection numbers nearly 200 codices and every indication is that many of the manuscripts come from Harar. Mr. Weiner has donated his whole Ethiopic collection to the Catholic University of America in Washington DC.
