Transliterated title: Sitookoto Daabo la Suukuwoolu.
Contains a collection of several recent copies of poems by Arfang Sitookoto Dabo (1857-1971), the most famous Mandinka Ajami poet of Senegambia. The poems reflect Dabo’s curriculum vita (his initial Islamic education and subsequent pursuit of advanced knowledge) that explains why he became the most celebrated poet of the Mandinka people. He was born in Oudoucar, in the region of Sedhiou, and received part of his advanced Islamic education in Diao-Soukouto, where he spent many years. Afterwards, he moved to Brikama in The Gambia, where he lived until his death. He was an important Mandinka poet and thinker who produced numerous poems dealing with religious and non-religious subjects in Mandinka Ajami. His poems are widely known in Senegambian Mandinka communities.
