A combined citation covering Wikipedia's article on Yared and Britannica's article on Ethiopian chant, a general reference encyclopedia with subject expert review. Their strength is that both sources independently flag the same dating problem, that the Gadla Yared hagiography survives only from a text recovered in the sixteenth century and the earliest Deggua manuscripts date only from the fourteenth. Their limit is that neither source offers the more technical account of manuscript transmission a dedicated ethnomusicological study would add.
