Hello, This document seems to be written on vellum, which could help to date it. But it would be useful if you could tell us a bit more about the object itself, where did you find it, who photographed it, is there a link with the peoples of North America?

Hi all. I think the mystery has been solved so I will give you the update. This excerpt came from a plank bound book with velum pages. There are Christian looking images In a few spots. Soooo I think it is safe to say it is an early 20th century or late 19th century Ethiopian Christian prayer book written in Ge’ez. Thank you everyone for trying to help out!
