Solomon Gebreyes, University of Hamburg, Germany. 001434974 520__ $$a"This book explores why Ethiopian kings pursued long-distance diplomatic contacts with Latin Europe in the late Middle Ages. It traces the history of more than a dozen embassies dispatched to the Latin West by the kings of Solomonic Ethiopia, a powerful Christian kingdom in the medieval Horn of Africa. Drawing on sources from Europe, Ethiopia, and Egypt, it examines the Ethiopian kings' motivations for sending out their missions in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries - and argues that a desire to acquire religious treasures and foreign artisans drove this early intercontinental diplomacy. Moreover, the Ethiopian initiation of contacts with the distant Christian sphere of Latin Europe appears to have been intimately connected to a local political agenda of building monumental ecclesiastical architecture in the North-East African highlands, and asserted the Ethiopian rulers' claim of universal kingship and rightful descent from the biblical king Solomon. Shedding new light on the self-identity of a late medieval African dynasty at the height of its power, this book challenges conventional narratives of African-European encounters on the eve of the so-called 'Age of Exploration'"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001434974 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 30, 2021). 001434974 651_0 $$aEthiopia$$xForeign relations$$zEurope. 001434974 651_0 $$aEurope$$xForeign relations$$zEthiopia. 001434974 651_0 $$aEthiopia$$xKings and rulers$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 001434974 651_0 $$aEthiopia$$xHistory$$yTo 1490. 001434974 651_6 $$aÉthiopie$$xRelations extérieures$$zEurope. 001434974 651_6 $$aEurope$$xRelations extérieures$$zÉthiopie. 001434974 651_6 $$aÉthiopie$$xHistoire$$yJusqu'à 1490. 001434974 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001434974 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434974 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKrebs, Verena.$$tMedieval Ethiopian kingship, craft, and diplomacy with Latin Europe.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2021]$$z9783030649333$$w(OCoLC)1202747187 001434974 852__ $$bebk 001434974 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-64934-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001434974 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1434974$$pGLOBAL_SET 001434974 980__ $$aBIB 001434974 980__ $$aEBOOK 001434974 982__ $$aEbook 001434974 983__ $$aOnline 001434974 994__ $$a92$$bISE
