Beschreibung von Afrika
by Dapper, Olfert
Dapper's work is the major seventeenth century synthetic account of Africa, for the
most part derived from published sources, but also making use of otherwise
unknown original material, notably from the Dutch merchant Samuel
BLOMMAERT or BLOMERT, who was involved in trade with western Africa during
ca.1614 to ca.l651. Blommaert was the source for Dapper's extensive description
of the Kquoja and their neighbours in the Sierra Leone-Cape Mount region and for
some of his information on Loango and Angola. For an analysis of Dapper's
sources, published and unpublished, see Adam IONES, "Decompiling Dapper: a
Preliminary Search for Evidence," HA 17 (1990),:171-209
