The Encyclopaedia Aethiopica (EAe) is a basic encyclopedia for Ethiopian and Eritrean studies. It employs an in-house form of romanization of Geez, Amharic, and other languages, which varies greatly from standard formats, such as BGN/PCGN: the emperor Menelek II's name, for example, is written as "Mənilək II".
