THE RAS SIGNS THE TREATY--THE CAMP STARVING--PLUNDER-ING THE RAS'S ANGER--COMPLAINT AGAINST ME--A TIFF WITH THE RAS TAKE LEAVE OF HIM, AND JOIN MY APPOINTED ESCORT, AMORO HAILO--START FOR MAYCHA DY DAMOT--HARDSHIPS OF THE JOURNEY ARRIVAL IN BEGEMDER. Soon after this, the Ras told me that he would sign the Treaty, and that I might prepare to start with the Wagshoom, who was returning to his country of Sokota, to fight with his cousin, who had broken out of prison and made himself master of the province. Accordingly, one morning, I went into his inner tent, and had the Treaty read to him by my scribe. After the Abyssinian manner, he kept talking to his favourite shoomeree about a horse that was tied in the tent, and that was nearly treading me under foot half a dozen times (we all sat on the ground, the Bas inclusive). On his asking me some trifling question, in answer, I begged his attention to what was being read, to which he assented, and yawned exceedingly; however, it was got through, some points having been explained and dwelt upon by me. Whereupon, the Eas said that he saw no harm whatever in the document; on the contrary, that it was excellent, but appeared to him exceedingly useless, inasmuch as he did not suppose, as Abyssinia was then constituted, that one English merchant would or could enter it in ten years. He then sealed the two copies, and gave his own to a favourite deftara, with orders to take it to Devra Tabor, and lock it up there. Now it is probably destroyed, THK CAMP STARVING--PLUNDERING. 421 the Eas's house having been plundered and burnt by Dejaj Kasai in 1853.

The Story of Däräsge Maryam

Pages : 173
Book Description
The painted church in Darasge Maryam, in the Semen Mountain in northern Ethiopia, is witness to a remarkable event in Ethiopian history. Built by Daggazmac Webe in the 1850s for his coronation, it was not the venue for Webe's coronation, but for the coronation of Tewodros II, who had snatched victory from Webe. However, the art, paintings, liturgical objects and a very precious illuminated manuscript book of Revelation, the commissions and gifts by Webe, can still be seen there today. Dorothea McEwan, Hon. Fellow, has been the Archivist of The Warburg Institute, University of London.
Wolaitta Evangelists
Author: E. Paul BaliskyPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630879363
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
This study presents the religious dynamics of the Wolaitta Kale Heywet Church in southern Ethiopia from 1937 to 1975. On the basis of detailed research from within southern Ethiopia, E. Paul Balisky demonstrates that the indigenous extension of the Wolaitta Christian movement into southern Ethiopia, through the instrumentality of her evangelists, helped Wolaitta regain her own religious center and subsequent identity after centuries of various forms of colonialism and imperialism. Wolaitta Evangelists broadens one's understanding of how an imported model of Christianity provided religious answers to the ideals of a particular Ethiopian society and continues to motivate her members to evangelize. The evangelists who went to people of similar culture and worldview were successful in effecting social change. To ethnic groups who had moved beyond their former primal religions, and to those of disparate culture, the evangelists were those who scattered the seed and impacted the religious, social, economic, and political life of southern Ethiopia. Wolaitta Evangelists tells the story of how missionary activity played a role in Wolaitta once again becoming a people.
