African Native Literature: Or Proverbs, Tales, Fables, And Historical Fragments In The Kanuri Or Bornu Languages is a book written by Sigismund Wilhelm Koelle and originally published in 1854. The book is a collection of various forms of literature from the Kanuri or Bornu languages spoken in Africa. The book includes proverbs, tales, fables, and historical fragments that provide insight into the culture, beliefs, and traditions of the people who speak these languages. The proverbs offer wisdom and advice, while the tales and fables provide entertainment and moral lessons. The historical fragments offer glimpses into the past of the Kanuri or Bornu people. Koelle, who was a linguist and missionary, collected these works during his time in Africa and translated them into English. The book is an important resource for scholars and students of African literature, as well as those interested in the history and culture of the Kanuri or Bornu people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
