Studiile etiopistice: stadiul actual al cercetărilor
Ethiopian studies: the current state of research

Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to analyse how the field of research known as Ethiopian Studies was born and developed. Although concerns in this direction are much older, the name was imposed in 1959 during the International Conference of Ethiopian Studies in Rome. For the first time, the problem of systematising the research area was raised, defining two major lines of understanding and reporting on the issues they involve. Thus, we distinguish a classic model represented by European researchers concerned with history, theology, and ancient and medievalculture, and a contemporary one, with Ethiopian researchers with studies in European or American universities as promoters.
