The Scriptome
Ethiopia Scriptome
Counts are not production; catalogues are not completeness; estimates are inferences. Survivorship is the subject of this page, not a footnote.

Method Ledger
Coverage metadata
- Run key
- scriptome-other-traditions-census-20260616
- Dedup policy
- One manuscript identity per dedup cluster; most complete non-provenance member selected. Provenance-entry-only clusters excluded from extant counts.
- Date policy
- Dated ranges allocate proportionally across c06-c18 overlaps for this tradition. Undated records remain in undated_count and are not distributed into period count.
- Sources included in first row
Counterevidence and limits
The current page is limited by catalogue coverage, inherited survival calibration, and record dating precision.
What would change these numbers
- Better catalogue coverage.
- Region-specific survival calibration.
- Dating refinements.
Records behind these numbers
Every physical-manuscript record mapped to this region, grouped by the source catalogue it came from, with that source's own licence and a few sample shelfmarks.
