The History of Judaism in Ethiopia

Here I use "Ethiopian" and "Abyssinian" almost interchangeably. However, the Classical (Greco-Roman) authors called by name "Ethiopians"those Black Africans who lived outside the Greco-Roman world and beyond its/their control. The country we now know as Ethiopia rose from the Aksum kingdom of the first Christian centuries and was later called Abyssinia, from Arabic Ḥabash, itself from South-Arabian ḤBŚT in Yemen.
