Record summary
Mäṣḥafä Berhān, commonly translated Book of Light, is a title associated with Ethiopian Christian doctrinal and devotional manuscript materials concerning divine illumination, biblical theology, saints, and the celestial order. It is a potential lead for examining how angels and other heavenly intermediaries appear in Ethiopian religious instruction and prayer. The title is not sufficiently distinctive by itself: several manuscripts and modern descriptions may use it differently. Researchers should locate a catalogue entry or critical study before attributing particular angelic episodes to the work.
