The Maqdala Manuscripts are Ethiopian Christian Orthodox texts from
the 14th to 19th century. They include many things like religeous
treatises books. Because they are some of the greatest pieces of
Ethiopian artwork ever made, they have important cultural
significance for the people of Ethiopia.

<p class="about-p">
They are called the Maqdala manuscripts because in the 19th century,
Emperor Tweodros II wanted to unify Ethiopia. One thing he did was
scour the country for the greatest Ethiopian writings. He then
gathered them into a single book at his mountain fort in Maqdala
(modern day Amba Mariam).

In 1868, the British, led by Robert Napier, invaded Ethiopia with
13,000 troops. They did this in response to the Emperor holding some
British hostage in retaliation for ignoring his pleas to develop
relations with the British. The Battle of Maqdala caused the Emperor
to commit suicide and caused the manuscripts to be taken by Brits as
spoils of war.

<p class="about-p">
Currently, the Ethiopian Government and the British Government are
having talks to return these historic manuscripts back to their
country of origin. While long-term loans have been agreed to thus
far, it seems very unlikely that the permanent relocation of these
artifacts takes place.
