The Kebra Nagast Index

Source: www.sacred-texts.com
The Kebra Nagast, by E.A.W. Budge, [1922], full text etext at sacred-texts.com
Michelle Miller sent me this link:)

This is a translation of the
Kebra Nagast, a tremendous collection of Ethiopian Biblical (FOLKLORE)
The Kebra Nagast tells the legend of the Queen of Sheba's son by King
Solomon, Menyelek (also known herein as Bayna-Lehkem and David II).
Menyelek engineers a plot to take the Tabernacle of the Law of God
(i.e., the Ark of the Covenant) to Ethiopia. ... See MoreThis is done at the behest of an Angel of God
who predicts the downfall of the kingdom of Solomon.

Comitted to
writing in the fourteenth century, the Kebra Nagast was derived from
Ethiopian oral traditions of the Queen of Sheba and her state marriage
with Solomon. The Kebra Nagast has been cited as one of the sources of
the Rastafarian movement because of its support of Ethiopian theocracy.
