How Much Would You Take For Your Prayer Book?
By Mitiku Adisu
A 14-Century Ethiopian Psalm book in Amharic was auctioned off in London for £32,000. The auctioneer, Mr Humbert said:
We are absolutely delighted. In a world where we hear nothing but financial doom and gloom it's nice to see items finding their true value.
Well, we cannot say we are delighted when someone is busy frittering away our national treasure. We contend the book should quickly be restored to its true home (Ethiopia) and its rightful owners (Ethiopians). PRAYERS ARE NOT FOR SALE!!
