<abstract><p> Topographia christiana is a Greek cosmographical work preserved in three manuscripts: Vaticanus graecus 699, Laurentianus Pluteanus 9.28, and Sinaiticus graecus 1186. It was written around <date>547-49</date>, circulated anonymous in the later half of the sixth century, and attributed to a <persName ref="PRS3204CosmasI">Cosmas Indicopleustes (<foreign xml:lang="grc">κοσμάς ἰνδικοπλεύστης</foreign>)</persName> by latter hands in the margin of the Sinaiticus and Laurentianus manuscripts. Basing on an Antiochene understanding of the Bible, Cosmas depicts the cosmos as Moses' tabernacle and argues against the Ptolemaic view of the earth as a globe. In the Topographia, he addresses Mar Aba as his teacher and shows polemical attitude against <persName ref="PRS9477Theodosi"> Theodosius I of Alexandria</persName>.
Topographia Christiana is one of the most valuable historical material for the late antique Ethiopia. Cosmas provides information on the "silent trade" between <placeName ref="LOC1310Aksum" xml:id="Aksum">ʾAksum</placeName> and the inland Africa in II.51 and the local animals in Ethiopia in XI.1-8, and mentions the presence of Ethiopian trading ships on <placeName ref="LOC2161Ceylon" xml:id="Ceylon">Taprobana</placeName> in XI.12. It also contains the Greek version of RIE 276 and RIE 277 with an illustration of the outlook and position of the inscriptions in II.54-64. According to Cosmas, he copied these inscriptions for <persName ref="PRS5841Kaleb">Kāleb</persName> when the reign of Justinian began.
