Item Details

Description

1776 1ed History of Loango AFRICA Proyart Kakongo Congo Missionaries HUGE MAP

Lievain Proyart was an 18th-century French author mostly known for his treatises on the Catholic Church. However, his most desirable book was his ‘History of African Kingdoms’, a treatise in which he describes the Kingdoms and Loango and Kakongo, now part of the Republic of Congo.

This work describes all aspects of the African kingdoms – languages, customs, , educational practices, government and royal leaders, wars, commerce, and much more. However, the largest portion of the book focuses on missionary voyages to Africa. This work includes an impressive folding map, which is extremely difficult to find.
