Aims & Scope

Aethiopica: International Journal of Ethiopian and Eritrean Studies is an internationally refereed academic journal, edited at the Hiob Ludolf Centre for Ethiopian and Eritrean Studies and at the Department of African and Ethiopian Studies of the Asien-Afrika-Institut at Hamburg Universität. It is annually published in a printed version by Harrassowitz, and provides immediate open access since 2016. All abstracts and more than 95% of all contributions are Open Access, without subscription barriers to access. A very few articles (published between 1998 and 2009) are not available online due to copyright restrictions. The journal focuses on philology, linguistics, archaeology, history, cultural anthropology, religion, philosophy, literature, and manuscript studies with a regional emphasis on Eritrea, Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, and related areas. The editors welcome contributions on relevant academic topics as well as on recent research in the respective field. Each issue of Aethiopica contains reviews of books which form a substantial section of the journal. For further information, please check our Author Guidelines . Aethiopica is published mainly in English. Articles in French, German and Italian are also accepted for publication. An English abstract for all articles and miscellaneous in any language is provided. A series of Supplements to Aethiopica of monographic character or occasional character is also published.
