'Life' and 'Miracles'of Abunä Akalä Kr stos

This volume, written by Abba Isayyyas, is a hagiographical history of "Akal" Krstos, a sixteenth-century Gondrite prince. When there was a rumor that the prince's father, Glawdewos, was preparing to overthrow his brother Emperor Fasilds (1632-1667) - 'he amassed at that time a private army of mighty ones' - a scheme was designed for Glawdewos to appear at the palace. However, he was slain as soon as he arrived. Akal Krstos was in school at that time. When one of his father's attendants informed him about his father's murder, he fled for his life. He walked from school in Gondr to the Monastery of Dbr Libanos in Shoa where he took the monastic garb and became a great ascetic. He visited the Monastery of "Abun" Gbr Mnfs Qddus (Zqwala) before he returned home and built a modest monastery called Mdr Zoga.
