The Historical Geography of Betä Ǝsraʾel (Ethiopian Jewish) Involvement in the Conflict between the Solomonic Kingdom and the Forces of Imām Aḥmad b. Ibrāhīm al-Ġāzī
The Səmen Mountains, the core region of Betä Ǝsraʾel political autonomy (fourteenth–seventeenth century), played a key role in the sixteenth-century conflict between the Solomonic Kingdom and the forces of Imām Aḥmad b. Ibrāhīm al-Ġāzī. While the involvement of the autonomous Betä Ǝsraʾel in this conflict has been addressed in scholarship, the sites associated with this involvement had not been accurately pinpointed. In 1959, Charles Fraser Becki…
Ethiopian Churches Commemorating Military Victories of the Solomonic Kingdom over the Betä Ǝsraʾel (Ethiopian Jews)
During the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, most Jews lived as a minority under Christian or Islamic rule. By contrast, the Ethiopian Jews, the Betä Ǝsraʾel, maintained political autonomy in parts of Ethiopia until the seventeenth century. From the fourteenth century, they were engaged in a series of wars against the Christian Solomonic Kingdom. Following Christian military victories over the Betä Ǝsraʾel, the victors erected churches in the …
The Campaign of the Solomonic Monarch Yǝsḥaq (r. 1414–1429/30) as a Turning Point in Betä Ǝsraʾel History
Following the rise to power of the Christian Solomonic dynasty (1270–1974) in Ethiopia, Christian rule expanded to encompass the regions inhabited by the Betä Ǝsraʾʾel (Ethiopian Jews). This process was accompanied by military campaigns (fourteenth–seventeenth century), during which the Betä Ǝsraʾʾel gradually lost their political autonomy. The Betä Ǝsraʾʾel oral tradition remembers the campaign waged by the Solomonic monarch Yəsḥaq against them …
A Re-Examination of the Sources of Inspiration of Ethiopian Concentric Prayer Houses
During the first millennium of Christian presence in Ethiopia (from the fourth century), church architecture was first in accordance with, and later partially based on, the basilica plan. Circa the early sixteenth century, a new and unique church plan appeared, circular, concentric, and with a square sanctuary, and became the dominant church plan in the northwestern Ethiopian Highlands. This church plan has been referred to in scholarship as an i…
St. Yared in the Sǝmen Mountains of northern Ethiopia
The Betä Ǝsraʾel and Ethiopian Orthodox Christians did not commonly recognize the same post-biblical individuals as holy men. One striking exception is Yared, perhaps the most renowned local saint of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, traditionally the composer of numerous elements of its liturgical music and hymns. The Betä Ǝsraʾel identify Yared as a member of their community, and holy sites of both groups, dedicated to him, existed in the Sǝmen Mo…
Jewish-Christian Interaction in Ethiopia as Reflected in Sacred Geography
Affinity with the Holy Land, and especially with Jerusalem, is a common theme in the sacred geography of Abrahamic religions, expressed in prayer houses and holy sites. This theme was especially prominent in Solomonic Ethiopia, both among Ethiopian Orthodox Christians and among the Betä Ǝsraʾel (Ethiopian Jews). This article will examine expressions of affinity with Jerusalem and the Holy Land in Betä Ǝsraʾel holy sites and religious architecture…
Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) Monastic Sites North of Lake Tana - Preliminary Results of an Exploratory Field Trip to Ethiopia in December 2015
This paper presents results of the first field trip aimed at locating and studying the remains of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) monasteries, as part of an ongoing research project aimed at shedding light on Beta Israel monasticism. Prior to this field trip, no Beta Israel monastery had ever been mapped, and no study focused on these monasteries has ever been conducted. On the trip, two former Beta Israel villages north of Lake Tana were examined…
