Abstract
The Ḥatäta Zärʾa Yaʿǝqob and the Ḥatäta Wäldä Ḥəywät are enigmatic and controversial works set in 17th-century Ethiopia. Expressed in powerful prose, they bear witness to pivotal events in Ethiopian history and develop a philosophical system of considerable depth. This volume breaks new ground, exploring the philosophical system and historical context and engaging with the debate concerning the authorship of these texts.
