=== Rastafari movement === Together with the ''[[Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy]]'' by [[Fitz Balintine Pettersburg]] and [[Leonard P. Howell]]'s ''[[The Promise Key]]'', the ''Holy Piby'' is today recognized as a root document of Rastafari thought.<ref name="Price2009">{{cite book|author=Charles Price|title=Becoming Rasta: Origins of Rastafari Identity in Jamaica|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OC399TZD2BwC&pg=PA49|year=2009|publisher=NYU Press|isbn=978-0-8147-6768-9|pages=48β49}}</ref> While not strictly speaking a "Rastafari text", it was certainly a primary source of influence to many in the [[Rastafari movement]], who see [[Haile Selassie I|Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia]], as the [[second coming]] of [[Christ]]. Some Rastafari see Emperor Haile Selassie I as Christ in His Kingly Character as written in the [[Book of Revelation]], Chapter 5 and regard Marcus Mosia Garvey as a [[prophet]].
