“…The Ethiopic traditions of the Legend also include two commemorative texts from the Sənkəssār. 61 read on the 13 th of the month of ṭərr, was published in 1884 with an Italian translation by Guidi 62 and critically edited and published with a French translation much later by Gérard Colin in 1990; 63 the second, to be read on the 21 of the month of naḥase, was edited by Guidi and published in 1912 with a French translation made by Sylvain Grébaut. 64 To conclude this short exposition on the Ethiopic versions of the Legend, we need to mention the hymnographic tradition that, with the exception of a hymn transmitted in the collection ʾƎgziʾabəḥer nagśa ("The Lord reigns") 65 published by Guidi, 66 remains largely unexplored, as well as uncharted are the therapeutic (healing and protective) practices that are connected with their veneration in medieval and contemporary Ethiopia, for which we have numerous examples involving other saints.…”

“…In fact, Salah Stétié had already compared Rimbaud and the Sleepers in a first essay published in 1991 60 . He modified it and added a documentary dossier, resulting in Passage des Dormants in 1995 61 . The Lebanese essayist then took a closer look at the Ephesians and their story, which he described as a "governing myth", in the sense that it would pretend to universality.…”

“…The peak of the crisis was reached in May 1987 with the accident of the Red Square, when a small plane driven by a citizen of West Germany, Mathias Rust, landed undisturbed in the heart of the Soviet capital. The episode offered Gorbachev the reason to carry out a purge in the higher ranks of the Soviet Army, as not seen since the days of the so-called Tukhachevsky affair 29 60 , but added that "the article also states that it could lead to general nuclear war" 61 . An interesting aspect was the hypothesis that local conflicts could reach the threshold of a global conflict, without however excluding that, on the contrary, they could also assume the nature of a frozen war (or protracted conflict).…”

The "Eurasian Heartland" is quickly getting back the strategic, cultural and economic importance it held for millennia. EURAS was born as a far-sighted project aimed at establishing a permanent, friendly and fruitful cooperation among universities and institutions of the European and Asian sides of the Eurasian continent. And now, in the difficult and delicate phase entire World is experiencing, EURAS Executive Board has decided to issue three scientific journals. EURAS Journal of Social Sciences (EJOSS) is one of them. EJOSS' mission is observing and reporting the developments occurring in the emerging societies and economies of the World, especially (but not exclusively) Eurasia. Our purpose is to provide serious, updated and interesting information out of stereotypes. EJOSS will be an open space where scientifically grounded and as much as possible politically, nationally and culturally unbiased contributes are welcomed.We enjoy the support of highly-qualified scholars from Italy to Philippines, who are either included in the scientific and editorial boards and in the honor committee or are ready to help us as referees. We are thankful to all of them. We are also thankful to the technical staff and to all the people who is cooperating to this task. Let me mention at least Dr. İrem Arman.EJOSS includes a section on EURAS life. You will see that despite pandemic, EURAS has not stopped its activities.We hope to give account of an increasing number of events and common achievements.

Pagan Religious Practices in Medieval Ethiopia: Development and Resistance of the Christian Kingdom (1434–1468)

In the long religious history of Ethiopia, paganism has been widely practised since ancient times, as evidenced by the inscriptions of ʿEzānā and other archaeological objects. It continued to dominate for centuries even after the introduction of Christianity in the fourth century, which hindered its expansion south of the Aksumite empire until the thirteenth century. However, later in the fourteenth century, Christianity was widely expanded with the military and political support of the Christian emperors, especially King ʾAmda Ṣǝyon (1314–1344), who suppressed pagan practices in the northern highlands of the Christian kingdom. Subsequently, pagan chiefs and priests were forced to be baptised and converted to Christianity, pagan sanctuaries were dismantled, and, in their place, churches and monasteries were built. Resistance against paganism continued in a more organised way in the fifteenth century during the reign of King Zarʾa Yāʿǝqob (1434–1468), who actively engaged in making laws and composing religious books to prevent Christian adherents from practising paganism. In this regard, we have a sizeable collection of Gǝʿǝz texts dating to the time of Zarʾa Yāʿǝqob that provide vivid information to better understand the development and features of paganism, on the one hand, and the measures undertaken by the king as a part of religious reformation to resist and dismantle pagan practices, on the other. Paganism, in general, is a neglected subject in the historiography of medieval Ethiopia, but taking into account the source availability, studying the pagan practices and resistance of this period is indispensable. Thus, this paper attempts to reconstruct the history of pagan practices and its development in the period under discussion to identify the names of the pagan gods as well as to analyse their social role and the measures taken under Zarʾa Yāʿǝqob against paganism.
