Part 4: Why You Should Read the Ethiopian "Extra" Books

Even if you cannot find the full 88-book PDF, studying the unique components changes your view of Christianity.

Canon highlights

• Core: Pentateuch, Historical books, Prophets, Writings (as in other Christian canons).
• Unique inclusions: 1 Enoch, Jubilees, 3 books of Meqabyan (distinct from Maccabees), Sinodos, Book of Covenant, Didascalia, and others.
• Total counts vary: 81 is a common scholarly count; some traditions enumerate up to 88 items when smaller sections or liturgical texts are counted separately.

Why is it so hard to find?

1. Copyright & Translation: The most complete English translation is published by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and foreign academic presses (such as the Oxford University Press critical edition of Enoch, or the Vanderkam translation of Jubilees). These are copyrighted.
2. Language Barrier: The 88 book canon exists physically in Ge'ez. Few scholars have translated the Sinodos and Clement books into English. Most PDFs online only contain the 66 books + Enoch + Jubilees (66+2 = 68 books, not 88).
3. Volume: A complete 88-book Bible would be over 2,500 pages long. It is not a "light" download like a pocket Bible.

The "Dexterous" Books (The "Sensos")

A specific section called the Sensos (Meaning "The Stones") includes theological lists and rituals:

• The Book of the Order of the Sabbath.
• The Book of the Division of the Feasts.
