Echoes of Heritage in ‘the Land of Origins’
This book commemorates one of the towering figures in the field of Ethiopian Studies, Emeritus Professor Getatchew Haile (01 June 1932 – 10 June 2021). He was the most prolific Ethiopian philologist of his generation, having authored more than 150 books and scholarly articles on Gəʿəz and its literary tradition. His contributions to the broader field of Ethiopian studies—and to Gəʿəz manuscript studies in particular—are of such magnitude that no single volume could fully encompass or honor his scholarly legacy. Nevertheless, this publication, the first of its kind to be initiated in Ethiopia by an Ethiopian scholar, seeks to be counted among the efforts made to celebrate his extraordinary life and enduring academic achievements. The editor extends sincere gratitude to all the contributors whose work has made this volume possible.

Framing Devices and Global Legal Traditions
This collection explores prefaces, prologues, paratexts, and other types of framing devices. Across world history, these devices have introduced the law, articulated its context and audience, identified the basis of legal and moral authority, critiqued existing conditions, or even tried to "restore" something that never was. Scribes, lawmakers, and legal theorists also used frames to position the law in time and space, purporting to define populations and their identities. Despite the ubiquity and complexity of these phenomena, few studies have drawn out methods for studying their role in constructing, fortifying, or reimagining legal frameworks within legal cultures or traditions. This volu...
