Why this is in the register
Beta Masaheft LIT3950ChronIyasu records Guidi 1903 as sole edition and no translation. The Ge'ez title 'Zēnāhu la-nagūś nagaśt ʾAdyām Sagad' and the absence of an English version are both visible in the Harvard catalogue record for the CSCO set (mms 990030445920203941: 'Guidi, Ignazio [ed. and tr]', 'Edidit [et interpretatus est] Ignatius Guidi', languages 'Ethiopic and French'; https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Annales%20Iohannis%20Iyasu%20Bakaffa&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 HOLLIS 'Iyasu I' returns 128 records, none of them a translation of the chronicle; the targeted query 'Iyasu I chronicle English' returns exactly two English records - 'Prowess, Piety and Politics: the chronicle of Abeto Iyasu and Empress Zewditu (1909-1930)' and 'The Goğğam Chronicle' - neither of which is Iyasu I's chronicle (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Iyasu%20I%20chronicle%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The 2025 Harrassowitz survey of Ethiopic historiography contains no Iyasu I translation chapter.
The fullest of the Gondarine royal chronicles: 24 years of reign (1682-1706) recorded in detail, with the king's judicial and religious measures, his military campaigns, and the court politics of the era. It is the single most important untranslated narrative source for Ethiopian history between 1682 and 1706.
