| Résumé: | The Beta Israel, the Ethiopian Jews, have suffered from a negative or complete misrepresentation in the written and oral sources of pre-modern Ethiopia. The term Jew was deliberately chosen to stigmatize heretic groups, or any other group deviating from the normative church doctrine.

The article illustrates how Jews are featured in the Ethiopian sources, the apparent patterns in this usage, and the polemic language chosen to describe these people. |
