This article presents the main research activities carried out within the CaNaMEI project during the year 2025, with particular emphasis on field surveys that led to the identification and study of Ethiopian manuscript collections previously unknown. The contribution outlines the results of investigations conducted at the National University Library of Turin and at the Provincial Library of the Capuchin Friars in Genoa, describing shortly the identified holdings, their chronology, and the historical contexts in which they were formed. These activities offers a contribution to the documentation, scholarly cataloguing, and valorisation of the Ethiopian manuscript heritage preserved in Italian library.
