Abstract: This volume collects the contributions presented at the University of Naples “L’Orientale” during a seminar held in the autumn/winter 2009-2010, on the multiple forms that the myth of the Queen of Sheba has taken on in ancient and modern oriental and western literatures, as well as in an archaeological and historical-artistic perspective; giving space, in addition to the reports of already established scholars, to the contributions of young researchers who have accomplished their training in the various PhD programmes of the University. To give the picture greater completeness, some interventions by scholars who did not attend the seminar have been added here, focusing both on canonical themes in the study of the Queen of Sheba’s fortune ‒ such as its impact on the French literary imagination, and above all its role of identity in the Ethiopian tradition ‒ as far as aspects never hitherto touched on, such as the reinterpretation of the character in North American culture and in Egyptian Arabic literature for children.
