The Queen of Sheeba – Kebra Nagast
Posted on | February 15, 2011 | 11 Comments
The Queen of Sheeba – Kebra Nagast. This volume contains an English translation of the famous Ethiopian work, Kebra Nagast, The Glory Of Kings. This book has been held in the highest honour in Ethiopia for several centuries and has been, and still is, venerated by the people as containing the final proof of their descent from the Hebrew Patriarchs, and of the kinship of their kings of the Solomonic line with Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The importance of this book, both for kings and the people of Abyssinia, is clearly shown by the letter that King John of Ethiopia wrote to the late Lord Granville in 1872: “There is a book which contains the Law of the whole of Ethiopia. I pray you find out who has got this book, for in my country my people will now obey my orders without it.”

These books are vital for us to know for about our history and introduce Ethiopia to others,for instance, I have promised share history of Ethiopian kings to Ugand’s people who assumed as they are Ethiopian.

Dear friends,
Thank you for making available for us all this very interesting book.
I thought I should comment on something that seems important.
“Kebra Nagast” is an ancient book. It is indeed an important part of Ethiopian tradition and culture. But it is not a book of history. History and ancient literature are not the same thing.
Those who want to study the history of their country, it is better to read a book of history. I propose that one should try to read at least three books.
Of course, it is a very good idea to read Kebra Nagast also. But one should understand it in his mind as ancient literature and as a cultural tradition, not as history.
