The Catalog of the Ethiopic Manuscript Imaging Project (EMIP), volume 2, provides a full catalog for EMIP codex numbers 106 through 200, and magic scrolls 135 through 284. Each catalog entry for the codices provides a full physical description, a listing of contents (with incipits), illuminations, varia (known works added later), notes on codicology and scribal practice, as well as a full quire map. Opening articles provide an introduction to the collection and its codicology, and an introduction to this set of Ethiopian scrolls of spiritual healing. Seven indices (general, works in the codices, names in the codices, miniatures in the codices, scribal practices, works in the scrolls, and names in the scrolls) provide quick access for researchers.

The catalogue is furnished with a set of useful indices: general subject and modern names, works in the codices, names and places in the scrolls, miniatures, and finally - and again this is an important innovation - scribal practises. It should be stressed here that the amount of information on the physical features of manuscripts including issues such as binding techniques, covers, and arrangement of quires is very impressive, and even attempts are made to provide some statistical generalizations (pp. xxxv-xxxvii) concerning the quire structure. Since our knowledge of Ethiopian bookmaking still leaves a lot to be desired this is a very recommended approach.
