摘要

This dissertation examines the 17th century Castle of Fasiladas, the premier edifice within the imperial complex of Gondar, a former Ethiopian capital. This particularly complex by-product of the intriguing cross-cultural interplay of Africa, the West and the East is herein examined from the specific vantage point of architectural history, using royal chronicles, accounts of travelers and diplomats, local oral traditions, and mercantile and missionary histories. The text of this thesis is divided into two parts. Part A focuses on the castle itself in order to assess how it developed out of the enduring indigenous tradition of wandering capitals. Also addressed are specific architectural questions regarding spatial organization, functions of the different rooms and levels, the structure's capacity for defensive use, and its symbolic potential. This dissertation demonstrates that Fasiladas used his castle to define rather than to defend, to reinstate monarchical dignity after the devastation of civil war, and to visually reinforce a socio-political structure. Part B focuses on the issue of origins for the castle: who built it, and where do its stylistic sources lie? The nature and extent of Portuguese and Indian involvement are analyzed in detail to demonstrate that the Portuguese were merely the agents for introducing both a new building technology and the architect capable of erecting a variety of structures. It is argued that Abdul Kerim, the Indian architect employed during the reign of Susenyos, was most likely the architect of Fasiladas' castle as well. Although it is difficult to pinpoint a stylistic source for this building, it is possible to situate Kerim in a particular part of India—Diu, or the broader region of Gujarat. Larger, related issues are also addressed, including the symbolic significance of using foreign artisans, and how the appropriation of cultures and individuals enhanced the image of the state and ruler. Audiences interested in cultural exchange within the Indian Ocean world will profit from this dissertation's contribution to inter-regional studies and its fresh approach to one of Ethiopia's most significant cultural icons.
