| Summary: | This article provides an editio princeps and a translation of a Gǝʿǝz homily, “On fasting” (CAe 6587), attributed to the author known under the pen name Rǝtuʿa Haymanot. The edition is based on two manuscript witnesses from the 14th century: EMML 1763, f. 162r–164r and BritLib Orient. 8192 f. 31v–34r. One can assume that the homily is an indigenous Ethiopian work. The homily focuses on the ethical aspects of Christian fasting and teaches that, in order for the fast to be valid, abstaining from food must be accompanied by proper moral conduct.
