With Ato Demeke Berhane, he has written A Catalogue of Previously Uncatalogued Ethiopic Manuscripts in England: Twenty-three Manuscripts in the Bodleian, Cambridge University and John Rylands University Libraries and in a Private Collection (Oxford University Press, 2007). Melaku Terefe served the church in Ethiopia for several years in various positions in Awasa (southern Ethiopia) and Harrar (eastern Ethiopia). For the last seven years he has served as priest in the Virgin Mary Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Los Angeles, California. He is in frequent demand, speaking in various churches throughout North America. He is also the cataloguer of the Wolf Leslau collection of Ethiopian manuscripts at the Charles E. Young Research Library at UCLA.

"Published simultaneously with the Catalogue (978-0-227-17350-3), this volume contains at least one plate for each of the 105 codices described there. It selects images from the various manuscripts to physical features of Ethiopic manuscripts, which are explained on pages faces the images. The publications are the first fruit of a project to digitize and disseminate all Ethiopic manuscript in the US and around the world." Book News Inc., Reference - Research Book News - October 2011 '...the catalogue and the companion volume mark an important step towards the establishing of a better standard of Ethiopic codicology, where quantitative evaluation comes to play a more central role...'
