Primary Sources Online for Medieval African Kingdoms

[bunnyjadwiga]

Was answering a question for someone via chat reference, and came across this site:
http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/mansa/3.html
As the authors say, "This site holds more than 150 resources about Sondiata and Mansa Musa, kings of the Empire of Mali in the 13th and 14th centuries. It also covers some aspects of later history, including the oral poetry that have preserved Sundiata's deeds for hundreds of years."

but the page in question is links to primary sources that will be fascinating.

You know I've been researching that for someone, right? Have seen that site - much of it didn't have what I needed. *sigh*

Lissa's been getting me articles through ILL.

Also interesting: it doesn't have the 16th C Portuguese accounts.
