Description:

Pieter de Marees' history of Guinea--originally published in 1602--is one of the earliest detailed European descriptions of West African society and an essential reference for anyone interested in the precolonial period. De Marees wrote primarily about the Gold Coast (Ghana), but his work also covers Cape Verde (Senegal), Benin (Nigeria), and Cape Lopez (Gabon). This new translation includes full annotation and the original engravings.
