Saga za Ab, often known in contemporary Europe as Sagazabo or Zaga Zabo, was an Ethiopian ambassador who visited Europe in 1527 33. Saga za Ab was sent to Portugal by the Ethiopian king Lebna Dengel in 1527. He accompanied a Portuguese mission to Ethiopia led by Francisco Álvares, which had been sent in 1520 by the king of Portugal following a 1507 request for help by Queen Helena of Ethiopia against the Muslim in the Red Sea. The mission returned to Portugal in 1527. Saga za Ab was interrogated quite harshly by Iberian religious authorities Diogo Ortiz de Villegas and Pedro Margalho about what was perceived as Ethiopian "deviations" from the Christian faith, especially the Sabbath and circumcision, leading to accusations of Ethiopians being Judaeos and Mahometanos, but he courageously endeavoured to defend his creed.
