Abstract

The aim of this paper is to make textual analysis upon the chronicle of Bäkaffa. Especially, on this chronicle, the philological analysis was not done, and there is no much work in the study area. The study, thus, attempts to fill in the gaps in order to facilitate further work in the field. From the royal chronicles, written during the late medieval period of Ethiopia, King Bäkaffa’s chronicle has been edited and published by  I. Guidi, an Italian philologist, both in French and G?’?z in 1903 together with the chronicle of Emperor Yohannes I (1667-1682) and Iyasu I (1682-1706 ). James Bruce summarized Bäkaffa’s chronicle in English in 1813.  Sir E.A Wallis Budge published the chronicle of Bäkaffa in English in 1928.  R. Pankhurst has also worked a summary of this chronicle in English in1967. Alämu ?aile translated and published the chronicle of Bäkaffa from G?’?z into Amharic, in 2007E.C. Täklä ?adik Mäkuria also summarized and translated from the chronicle of Bäkaffa into Amharic.
