Around 1900 the small Ethiopian community in Jerusalem found itself
in a desperate struggle with the Copts over the Dayr al-Sultan
monastery located on the roof of the Holy Sepulchre. Based on a
profoundly researched, impassioned and multifaceted exploration of
a forgotten manuscript, this book abandons the standard majority
discourse and approaches the history of Jerusalem through the lens
of a community typically considered marginal. It illuminates the
political, religious and diplomatic affairs that exercised the
city, and guides the reader on a fascinating journey from the
Ethiopian highlands to the Holy Sepulchre, passing through the
Ottoman palaces in Istanbul. Have a look inside the book
