Abstract:
Starting from the reflexion on the legend of the Queen of Sheba’s hairy leg, the author tries to disentangle the inextricable network of traditions – Egyptian, Jewish, Byzantine and Arab – and to find an historical thread which may explain the many syncretic rehandlings that lead to the original redaction of Kebra Nagast, the «Glory of the Kings», the Ethiopian dynasty’s founding text. All this network of traditions seems to converge towards the gulf of Akaba and the Nubian border of the Red Sea.

Abstract:
The Queen of Sheba, best known for visiting Solomon at the height of his rule, is commonly understood to be one of the most famous Black queens of the Bible. However, biblical texts record nothing of her family or people, any physical characteristics, nor where, precisely, Sheba is located. How did this association between the Queen of Sheba and Blackness become naturalized? This article answers this question by mapping three first millennium textual moments that racialize the Queen of Sheba through attention to geography, skin color, and lineage in the writings of Origen of Alexandria, Flavius Josephus, and Abu Ja’afar al-Tabari. These themes are transformed in the Ethiopic text the Kebra Nagast, which positively claims the Queen of Sheba as an African monarch in contrast to the Othering that is prominent in earlier texts. The Kebra Nagast has a complex afterlife, one which acts as the ground for the also-complex modern reception of the character of the Queen of Sheba.

Abstract:
According to Kebra Nagast, which is the subject of the Ethiopian national legend, the Zagwe Dynasty seized the throne of Israel by violating God's law and created an interim period between the Aksum Kingdom and the Solomon Dynasty. In these conditions, where the legitimacy of the throne completely preceded the lineage, ancestral stories also emerged for the Zagwe Dynasty lineage. As a matter of fact, there are stories among the people that add to the narrative of Kebra Nagast, that they too are descendants of King Solomon. However, there is a rumor in Arabic sources that the Zagwe Dynasty was descended from Moses and Aaron, and beyond that, the Negus of that period were defined as priest. Looking at the members of the Zagwe Dynasty, it is seen that they have a close relationship with religion, supporting the rumors. Yemrehana Kristos is called "Kıssis King" as reminiscent of Presbyter John, and Harbay, Lalibela and Nakuto Laab, who follow him, are among the saints of the Ethiopian church. In our study, it has been tried to analyze the discourses about the lineage of the Zagwe Dynasty and their religious figures. It has been seen in the sources that a story similar to the union of Solomon-Makeda is told about Moses and a woman from Kush. According to this, the prophet Moses came to Ethiopia and married a woman from Kush. However, the lineage of the prophet Moses is not related to the Zagwe Dynasty. At this point, the mention of Moses, Harun and Tabot together in the source where the genealogical discourse takes place reveals the possibility of this being inspired by the 248 th verse of Surat al-Baqara. Because in this verse, Tabot is presented as a sign of sovereignty and there are remains of Al-i Musa and Al-i Harun in it. Therefore, we have expressed that this discourse may be a modeling effort made to legitimize the dynasty as a style frequently used in this period. The information we have about the Zagwe Dynasty does not give precise information about the number of kings, when they came to power, and how they were destroyed. However, looking at the Gadls that were written after this dynasty, even during an anti-Zagwe government, it is seen that they were canonized, Although they are usurperors. At this point, it has been argued in our study that one of the most important factors in their acceptance as saints is their position in the face of political and religious authority and conditions in Egypt. As a matter of fact, these kings, who conducted rites in the church, tried to make the Ethiopian Church independent and tried to build the "New Zion" by carving the rocks, were not the successors of Moses and Aaron in lineage, but like them, they were the people who brought together the power of religion and politics in one person.

Abstract:
The rock hewn churches of Lalibela have special significance in the formation of Ethiopia’s consciousness as a sacred land of God’s covenant. Numerous local stories express the sanctity of Lalibela as a Heavenly Jerusalem on earth and the faithful use holy soil from the churches to cure the sick. Every year, thousands of Tewahido believers travel to receive blessings. Local scholars who studied decades in the indigenous education system serve as intermediaries between the sanctity of the place and the people, and transmit their knowledge to the younger generation. This paper traces this spiritual genealogy to the creation story in the Kebra Nagast regarding the Ark of the Covenant (Tabot) and relates it to Lalibela’s famous churches. It demonstrates the existence of enduring spiritual genealogy that considers place as alive and powerful. The paper also reflects on how the loss of indigenous sources of knowledges, particularly through the stealing or taking of manuscripts by foreign collectors, and the rise of a Eurocentric interpretation of the history of Lalibela challenges this millennial spiritual tradition. It argues that this has resulted in epistemic violence, the practice of interpreting local knowledge with a foreign lens in a way that reinforces colonial Eurocentric views that are then internalised within Africans themselves. Despite such challenges, it shows how the genealogy continues through the very identity and practice of local communities and individuals.

Abstract:
The presence of literary works of Roman origin or milieu inside the Christian Aksumite tradition allows us to reconstruct the image of the Empire circulating among the Christians of Aksum. An antagonism between Church and State and a mistrust of any form of political and social organization were the basic concepts that works like the “Shepherd” of Hermas and the “Antichrist” of Hyppolitus transmitted to Ethiopian Christianity, particularly its monastic centres. In contrast to this tendency, a literary trend dating back to the ancient core of the “Kebra nagaśt” supported the aspirations of the Aksumite leadership by promoting an image of the Christian Ethiopian king as a hero in the end of the days in keeping with millenarian expectations.
