520 |a Despite the cursory mention afforded her in the biblical books Kings and Chronicles, the Queen of Sheba prefigures the establishment of a vast yet much maligned typology of female empowerment in collective memory. Given the particular relevance of the Solomonic Period for current debates in biblical scholarship, this article is positioned as an introduction to a volume collected in an endeavour to provide a diverse and representative discussion forum for South African scholars. The portrayal of the Queen of Sheba and her association with a mythical (and sometimes real) Africa was chosen as an appropriate topic. Of particular interest are not only her "demonisation" in religious tradition, but also the numerous permutations of the Queen of Sheba and her mythical homeland in modem literature, art, and culture. 
520 |a Die koningin van Skeba is 'n blote randfiguur in die bybelse boeke Konings en Kronieke. Desnieteenstaande, figureer sy prominent in religieuse tradisies as bevesting van 'n uitgebreide, dog erg negatief gelaaide tipologie van vroulike bemagtiging in die gemeenskaplike geheue. Die Salomoniese tydperk se belang vir die akademiese debat gee aan hierdie onderwerp sy besondere relevansie. Hierdie artikel dien as inleiding tot 'n volume opgedra aan die ondersoek van hierdie onderwerp binne 'n diverse en representatiewe forum van Suid-Afrikaanse vakgenote. Verder word die voorstelling van die koningin van Skeba, sowel as haar assosiasie met 'n mitiese (en soms werklike) Afrika ondersoek. In hierdie verband word veral klem gelê op die koningin van Skeba se negatiewe voorstelling (demonisasie) in religieuse tradisies, asook op talle permutasies van haar mitiese land van herkoms in moderne literatuur, kuns, en kultuur.
