Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Ce tome présente le Ta: rikh Mandinka, un manuscrit rédigé en Arabe et en Mandinka, originaire du village de Bijini en Guinée-Bissau. Inédit jusqu'à présent, le manuscrit consiste en une compilation structurée et très originale sur le Kaabu, réunissant divers récits et chroniques focalisant les débuts mythiques et la chute de cet ' empire ' païen au milieu du 19ième siècle.Deux versions du manuscrit et plusieurs interprétations (lectures) du Ta: rikh sont reproduites, transcrites, traduites et analysées en tenant compte de questions philologiques, historiques et anthropologiques.
