Ethiopic Historiographical Texts: Editing and Translating, and Textual and Historical Analysis

Hamburg, HLCEES, 29-30 June 2023

The workshop, organized by the DFG Project no. 445841073 "The Chronicle of King Śarḍa Dǝngǝl (r.1563‒1597): A Critical Edition with annotated English Translation", attempts to address the existing gaps by providing a comprehensive look at the methods and approaches used to critically edit historiographical texts, the forms and languages used in them, a comparative analysis of such texts, and the purpose and function of writing them, as well as their use for historical research.

Many members of HLCEES, including the PI Solomon Gebreyes Beyene as well as Alessandro Bausi, Daria Elagina, and Denis Nosnitsin, contribute to the programme.
