Anchor

In the name of God, who is three in persons and one in divinity, this great treasury called Anchor was written and compiled by Abba Gera and the Trinity of Habla. From many reasons and causes, its writing came about by the command of our king, the pure virgin Serṣa Dengel. For he burned with spiritual zeal when he saw that the teaching of the Psalter, which his Orthodox fathers had established for the people of Qorʿan, had been lost, and that the melody of the Psalter had been corrupted by drama and song. The king, a lover of learning, was grieved and said, "Those who composed it are women, and those who wrote it are men, because of the matter of the seal." In this he agreed that it was sealed teaching. He commanded that it be written and taught as it was originally, and he blessed those who teach and those who learn. May God bless the life of his soul in the kingdom of heaven forever and ever. Amen.
