The Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy

By Fitz Balintine Pettersburgh

"The Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy" is a foundational text in the development of Rastafarian thought and Black nationalist theology. Written by Fitz Balintine Pettersburgh, this influential work presents a visionary and spiritual framework centered on the divinity of Ethiopia and the destiny of the African diaspora. It weaves together biblical interpretation, esoteric wisdom, and social critique to challenge the prevailing racial hierarchies of the early 20th century.

As a primary source of Ethiopianism, the book explores profound themes of identity, liberation, and the reclamation of ancestral heritage. It serves as a call for spiritual and cultural awakening, establishing a moral and metaphysical basis for self-determination and the rejection of colonial paradigms. Pettersburgh's writing combines poetic prose with assertive philosophy, offering an essential window into the religious and cultural currents that preceded and informed the Rastafarian movement.

This work remains a significant artifact of Pan-African philosophy and a vital resource for readers interested in the intersection of race, religion, and resistance in the early twentieth century.
