metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Chronicle of John of Nikiu is a vast historical compilation, a monument of early Byzantine
  historiography. It represents the General history, that traditionally for this literary genre
  starts from the Bible history and concludes indeed by description of Arabic conquest of
  Egypt where it was created at the end of the 7th century AD by John, Bishop of the city of
  Nikiu. Most probably it was initially compiled in Greek. Its author was a witness of this turning point in the history of all African Christians. Later the Chronicle was translated in
  Arabic and finally in the very beginning of the 17th century in Ge‘ez. By chance it reached
  our days exclusively in the Ethiopic revision. Its translation in Ge‘ez was realized by the
  order of at that time the dowager Queen Maryam Sena and an influential warlord ras
  Athanatewos. In this regard, historical context, in which such influential people initiated
  a translation of the voluminous compilation, created in Egypt in the Coptic Church environment
  deserves a special attention. In particular, the uneasy for Ethiopia historical
  background, in which this translation was created explains the reasons of its initiation
  and actual existence exclusively in Ethiopian revision.
