Abba Samuel (Ge'ez: አባ ሳሙኤል), or commonly called Samuel of Dabra Wagag (Ge'ez: ሳሙኤል ዘደብረ ወገግ), was an Ethiopian saint living in the latter half of the 14th and the first decades of the 15th century. The source for his life is his hagiography, most accessible in Stanislas Kur's French translation of the Ge'ez original, Actes de Samuel de Dabra Wagag. The original work (Ge'ez: ገድለ ሳሙኤል ዘወገግ Gadla Sāmū'ēl za-Wagag) survives only in two 20th century manuscripts, both copies of a 16th-century revision of an earlier composition.[1] He founded the monastery Debra Wagag.
