A combined citation covering Wikipedia's articles on the Book of Deggua and on the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Their strength is direct, corroborated agreement that the Deggua hymnary, attributed to the sixth century Aksumite composer Saint Yared, is the shared hymnbook of both the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches, sees that shared one undivided liturgical and musical tradition until the Eritrean church's 1993 autocephaly. Their limit is that neither source is a specialist ethnomusicological study of whether local performance practice has diverged at all between the two churches since that separation, a question this citation states rather than settles.
