For centuries, church history has been told as if only a few voices mattered — and most of them were male. Countless women*’s lives and contributions remain hidden in archives, reduced to footnotes, or overwritten by later interpretations that say more about their interpreters than about them. What happens when we begin to read this history differently and ask not only who is remembered, but who has been made invisible?

Forgeries or masterworks? The truth about the Ḥatäta Zärʾa Yaʿǝqob and its companion treatise has eluded scholars for generations. A new edited volume looks beyond the authorship question, celebrating the philosophical and literary qualities of these texts and their impact on international scholarship.
