The Church History Of Ethiopia (1696)

The Church History of Ethiopia, written by Michael Geddes in 1696, is a comprehensive account of the history of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church from its early beginnings to the late seventeenth century. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part covering the origins and early development of the Ethiopian Church, including its relationship with the Coptic Church of Egypt. The second part covers the period of the Zagwe dynasty, which ruled Ethiopia from the 11th to the 13th century, and the rise of the Solomonic dynasty, which has been the ruling dynasty of Ethiopia since the 13th century. The final part of the book covers the period from the reign of Emperor Susenyos in the late 16th century to the time of writing, with a focus on the challenges faced by the Ethiopian Church during this period, including the arrival of European missionaries and the spread of Islam. The Church History of Ethiopia is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the development of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the history of Ethiopia as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
