About the Book
Alaqa Gabrahanna was an extraordinary person and one of the original geniuses of Ethiopian art, history and language, with a stylish sense of humour. Alaqa Gabrahanna’s remarkable life journey began from the little town of Nabaga Giorgis, at Gondar, where he was born; his realm extended up to the Aksum Tsiyon church, in Tigray, north of Ethiopia, and to the Entoto Raguael Church, in Shawa, central Ethiopia. Consequently, Alaqa Gabrahanna was the master of these region’s monarchial kingdoms, as well as their social, religious and political fabric. This full version of the authentic and complete biography appears here for the first time in any legal publication, although some local and foreign writers have published anecdotal extracts of some work in relation to Alaqa Gabrahanna’s biography in the early and mid-nineteenth century. Eighty anecdotes have also been included in this biography, which have oral confirmation and documented justification as being genuinely Alaqa Gabrahanna’s anecdotes.
