    Mandinkakaŋ Suukuwoolu: Collection of Mandinka Ajami Poems
    Souane, Seydi; Souane, Abdou Khadre; Souane, Ibrahima Kalilou
    Contains a collection of several short poems. One poem discusses the rituals to perform when settling in a new place or house and also gives tribute to a deceased friend. In another poem, Seydi Souane (the father of the owner of the documents) expresses his regret for not being able to perform pilgrimage to Mecca and wishes that his son might be able to perform it for him one day. Other documents celebrate the virtues of Mandinka elders (including their legendary respect and courtesy) and praise Prophet Muḥammad.
