Abstract:There are indications that Ethiopians have lived in the Holy Land on their own properties since about the time other Christian communities of foreign nationalities began to live there. The Christian kings in Ethiopia had granted land and occasionally donated cash to the Jerusalem community. However, the community was reduced to the brink of nonexistence more than once, until measures were taken by Emperor Menelik II and Queen .Tayitu to make the community financially independent. This article reproduces the Amharic text of a document dealing with the building of a house in Jerusalem in 1902, which was commissioned by Queen .Tayitu. An English translation of the text is also provided. Bibliogr., notes, ref.
