Kebra nagast
Book • 1321
The Kebra Nagast is a medieval text that narrates the story of the Queen of Sheba (Makeda) and King Solomon, and their son Menelik I, who is said to have brought the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia.
The text is a vital part of Ethiopian national and religious identity, legitimizing the Solomonic dynasty's rule.
It draws heavily from the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinical sources, and other historical and folkloric materials.
The work has been translated and edited by several scholars, including Carl Bezold, who translated it into German in 1905.
