Abstract
The subject of this paper is a forgotten and neglected style of architecture represented to-day by only a handful of monuments scattered among the mountains of northern Ethiopia. This is one of the by-ways of architecture, linked only obscurely with its main high-roads, and leading nowhere, unless it leads at some future time to a revived Ethiopian style. But, like other by-ways, it offers a fascinating field of inquiry, and one so little studied that the new-comer to it is free—for want of any established theories—to interpret it in his own way.Keywords
