Yacob Ghebreyesus

Abba Yacob Ghebreyesus was a Catholic priest and schoolteacher, and it was for his pupils that he published this collection in 1949. Historians of the federal period count him among the most prominent churchmen of post-war Eritrea: Tekeste Negash stresses his extensive knowledge of the Tigrinya language and history, and a paper from the Lund conference on missions says he was able to sway opinion. The same paper states that he succeeded Bishop Kidane Mariam Cassa, the first Eritrean Catholic bishop, in 1951. His dates are not known.
