Following the successful symposium and exhibition at the Goethe-Institut in June 2024, where reflections and perspectives of contemporary Ethiopian historians and researchers on the foundations of modern Ethiopian historiography were presented in lectures by Prof. Shiferaw Bekele and Abba Daniel Assefa, both scholars, with the support of the Goethe-Institut, were able to present their research findings at a conference organized by Orbis Aethiopicus at the Gotha Research Centre of the University of Erfurt on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Job Ludolf (1624-1704).
This concludes the project ‘400th Anniversary of Job Ludolf’. The publication of the research results is still pending, but we can provide you with the summarized results of the scientific investigations here in advance.
