The Ethiopia of 1995 is a country still recovering from the traumatic experience of some two decades of war, revolution, drought and famine, accompanied by human tragedy on a grand scale. This bibliography presents an up-to-date account of the chief works on all aspects of Ethiopia, ancient and modern. The extreme conditions of the country, its very early contacts with Europe, and its maintenance of political independence are all covered.

Industry Reviews

In Ethiopia: Judaism, Altars and Saints, Dr. Munro-Hay shares three intriguing aspects of Ethiopia's endlessly fascinating history. The first subject of enquiry is the claim that an ancient and profound Judaic influence underlies Ethiopian Christianity. The second theme concerns the tabot, the altar boards of the churches of Ethiopia. The final section is devoted to exploration of the legends concerning the foreign missionaries who were supposed to have come to the country in the fifth and sixth centuries, the so-called Nine Saints.

The study of these three themes not only offers a glimpse into the riches of Ethiopia's literary and ecclesiastical tradition, but adds new perspectives to our interpretation of Ethiopia's enigmatic past.
