Harden's translation of the Ethiopic version of the Didascalia is considered to be one of the most accurate and comprehensive translations available. The book includes an introduction that provides historical context and an overview of the text, as well as footnotes that explain difficult or obscure passages. The content of the Didascalia covers a wide range of topics, including instructions for conducting church services, rules for Christian behavior, and guidance for dealing with various social and ethical issues.
