Ethiopia is a land of hidden treasures, and among the greatest are
its remote churches, whose richly decorated interiors amaze and
astound with their vibrant colours and extraordinary illustration.
Yet steeped in ancient legend, and often situated in remote
locations, a true appreciation and understanding of these unique
churches and their spectacular murals has been restricted to a
select few. Now, in Hidden Treasures of Ethiopia, Maria-Jose
Friedlander provides a unique guide to the churches, their
architecture and decoration. Ranging from the rock-hewn churches of
the Tigray region to the spectacular timber-built cave church of
Yemrehane Krestos, Maria-Jose Friedlander provides detailed
descriptions of the wonderful murals and of the stories behind
them. Many of the wall paintings contain inscriptions in Ge'ez -
the ancient language of Ethiopia - and full translations of these
scripts are given. Detailed plans show the exact location of the
paintings within the churches and the superb colour photographs by
Bob Friedlander show the many aspects of the churches and their
decoration in rich detail.
