Ecclesiastic Landscape of North Ethiopia brings together a selection of papers presented at the first International Workshop of the project Ethio-SPaRe: Cultural Heritage of Christian Ethiopia, Salvation, Preservation and Research (2009–2014, 7th Research Framework Programme IDEAS, ERC Starting Grant 240720), held in Hamburg in July 2011. Project members and invited scholars, all with firsthand experience in Ethiopian manuscript studies, explored the spheres of influence in the historical monastic landscape of the North Ethiopian highlands. Case studies dedicated to prominent or little known individual sites completed the programme. The essays in this collection, edited by Denis Nosnitsin, are of great interest to both researchers and students of Ethiopian Studies, African History, Christian Orient and History of Religion.
