    Most likely "the book of kings", a part of the bible. (this test has sevral names).

    Or maybe the Kebra Negest

    The claim of descent from Menelik I is based on the assertion that the kings of Axum were also the descendants of Menelik I; its definitive and best-known formulation is set forth in the Kebra Nagast.
