A comprehensive new historical book titled “የአፄ ዘርዐ ያዕቆብ እና ስራዎቹ” has been published, co-authored by Engineer Tewodros Demeke and Dr. Andualem Abate. Spanning 547 pages across 19 chapters, the book offers an in-depth account of the life, leadership, and contributions of Emperor Zera Yacob—one of Ethiopia’s most influential medieval monarchs. The authors meticulously document his early life, rise to power, and the centralization of governance during his reign. The book examines the emperor’s administrative structure, military organization, justice system, religious practices, and his efforts to maintain unity amid political and theological challenges.
Readers will also find rich content on topics such as Ethiopia’s territorial extent, its internal administrative regions, foreign relations, contemporary arts and literature, the origin of the national flag, and the historical truth about the Double Cross of Jesus Christ. Other highlighted subjects include the emperor's environmental conservation practices, the influential role of Queen Eleni, and the legacy of his heir, Emperor Beede Mariam. This well-researched and engaging work sheds light on a pivotal era in Ethiopian history and serves as a valuable resource for scholars, history enthusiasts, and readers interested in Ethiopia’s medieval heritage.
