The Kebra Negast Author : E. Wallis Budge Publisher : Cosimo, Inc. The Kebra Nagast is an ancient text, detailing the relationship between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba; this work examines these legends, and how they correspond with Ethiopian folklore and the Holy Bible. Drawing heavily upon the Biblical lore, the Kebra Nagast includes further detail upon pertinent topics; other ancient monarchs, prophetic visions, and the culture of the court of Ethiopia. The final chapters allude to the birth, life and death by crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with foreshadowings to these momentous events also present earlier in the Kebra Nagast.

This book is an informed and heavily detailed treatise by academic, archaeologist and scholar of antiquity E. Wallis Budge, who acts as both translator and annotator. Imbuing his narration with the knowledge he had gained from several decades of excavations, researches and learning, we are treated to an intense and detailed translation of each chapter. During his 15 years living in Jamaica, Gerald Hausman developed deep friendships with Rastafarians and rootsmen, enabling him to experience firsthand the beliefs and traditions of these followers of the Kebra Nagast--the African gospel excised from the King James version of the Bible.

He met bush doctors, Rasta preachers, members of the Marley family, and respected elders who knew Marcus Garvey, prophet of the Rasta movement and vocal proponent of the Pan-African movement in America.

He connects their stories, lives, and teachings with important biblical passages as well as reggae songs. Illustrating the unwavering faith and hope of the Rastafari of Jamaica, Hausman shows them to be a people who, above all, emphasize equality, because the Holy Spirit within each of us makes us all one and the same.

This volume brings together a set of contributions, many appearing in English for the first time, together with a new introduction, covering the history of the Ethiopian Christian civilization in its formative period AD. Rooted in the late antique kingdom of Aksum present day Northern Ethiopia and Eritrea , and lying between Byzantium, Africa and the Near East, this civilization is presented in a series of case studies. At a time when philological and linguistic investigations are being challenged by new approaches in Ethiopian studies, this volume emphasizes the necessity of basic research, while avoiding the reduction of cultural questions to matters of fact and detail.

The 'Kebra Nagast' Glory of Kings was written at least one thousand years ago, and takes its theme from much older sources, some going back to the first century AD. Written originally in the African classical language Ge'ez, the book tells the history of a Davidic line of African monarchs, descended from King Solomon of Israel and Maqeda, Queen of Sheba Saba , who journeyed to the Levant specifically to visit the wise and far-famed monarch.

It is regarded as the ultimate authority on the history of the conversion of the Ethiopians from the worship of the sun, moon, and stars to that of the Lord God of Israel. The Christian theology conceives Mary as the New Eve as Jesus Christ is the New Adam, and we believe that the thesis of her pre- eternal creation and transmission from one generation to other is a type of Gnostic interpretation of the Incarnation, perhaps with influence from the anti-Chalcedonian ideas.

The pearl passed to the third son of Adam — Seth and afterwards through the first-born sons up to Abraham. From the latter it went to Isaac but not to the first- born Ishmael , from him to Jacob but not to Esau , from him to Judah but not to Reuben and afterwards to Perez but not to the elder son.

After Perez the pearl passed through the first-born sons up to Jesse and from him to his eighth son David. Thus was born their daughter Mary, who gave flesh to the Logos. They are identical up to the separation of the two lines after King Solomon. Comparing this story with the 48 This somewhat Gnostic story about the Pearl-Mother of God needs a special interpretation that we shall pursue in another publication.

Perruchon, J. I, Paris, , and vol. VI, Paris, and Near Eastern literature and provides an opportunity to detect interesting ideas concerning not only the political theology but also the Christian anthropology in the remote country seen as the Empire of the Prester John. See: Cerulli, E. I, , p. The idea of the divine origin of the Kingdom, of the origin of the dynasty from the Lord Jesus Christ can be seen in at least two elements of the narration: the view about Wisdom as well as in the theological interpretation of the image of King Solomon as the herald and incarnation of the latter.

Can this allusion concern the second person hypostasis of the Trinity, the Logos, Jesus Christ in its Christian conception? The answer to this question is of decisive importance for the present study.

Such an interpretation exists in Christian literature. The whole book is published by the same author: Cerulli, E. In this narration the king of Israel has the image of the Lord of the House, who arranges his home and orders his servants.

The order is represented in the story as divine work and a way to Salvation. Every word of this text is charged with significance and the citations from the Holy Scripture refer to other texts linked to Wisdom.

The latter is eulogized as the most precious thing in the world. We would like to pay special attention to the building of the Temple, which is well represented in the Holy Scripture. The Temple is his work and his alone. He is everywhere — he goes left and right, back and forth, he gives the orders to the masons, he prepares all the dimensions and all the details.

It is impossible to avoid a comparison with the biblical text: 54 Wallis Budge: The Queen of Sheba …, p. I, …, p. So, we turn to the traditional interpretation of King Solomon as an image of Wisdom. As an illustration, we can adduce a Constantinopolitan representation from the twelfth century where one sees him with a roll with the cited text of the Proverbs ff.

The king of the People of Israel is a bearer and image of Wis- dom. It is worth noting in advance that usually he is venerated as the builder of the Temple and the bearer of Wisdom. Obviously, these two aspects are united in the biblical text that Wisdom built a home for herself and its later development that the human body of Jesus Christ is a home and temple of the Incarnate God.

This is in direct relation with mariology and with the view that the Mother of God is a pre-image of the Church as the habitat of God in the World. Of course, Ethiopian literature does not abandon the biblical tradition and shows the sins of the ruler of Israel, his deviation from the law and his carnality. In this sense we should recognize that it is impossible to make a complete identification with Jesus.

King Solomon is represented in his dual role — a man ruler- builder of the Temple and a pre-image of Christ. We will not deal extensively with this incorrect statement. In this sense we can cite the cult of Saint Irene 61 Durand, Y. Thus, the construction of the Temple is in anticipation of the Incarnation; the women of Solomon represent the propaganda or diffusion of the monotheistic faith among the Gentiles; the bed of Solomon anticipates the Church as a Corpus Christi and a habitat of God; in the guardians of the bed the Ethiopian author sees the patriarchs, the martyrs, the saints and the members of the clergy.

It is necessary to emphasize that these words confirm the writings of Origen and his interpretation of the image of Solomon, based on the evangelical perception of his meeting with the Queen of Sheba. A special place is dedicated to the assertion that both the King and Prophet Solomon and Jesus Christ derive from the seed of David in the flesh. All this suggests their allegorical identity, while their historical and personal identity is negated by the condemnation of the sin of Solomon by the Prophets Elijah and Elisha.
