Transliterated title: Kandoolu Kitaaboolu I. Contains a rich collection of ephemeral texts. They deal with prayers and techniques used to address people's preoccupations, including health and travel-related issues. The ingredients of the medicinal recipes that are believed to be potent (including prayers, magical squares and numerological formulas) are written in classical Arabic, while the instructions on how to use them are generally written in Mandinka Ajami. This collection also includes a historical document that lists several prominent scholars and kings who lived in different parts of Casamance. Custodial history: The owner, El-hadji Bayo, produced the more recent documents. He inherited the older ones from his father, Ousmane Bayo. Extent and format of original material: 109 pages. Physical characteristics: Unbound manuscript. Due to their age, water damage, and ink stains, some pages are difficult to read. Owner(s) of original material: El-hadji Lamine Bayo. Author(s) of original material: El-hadji Lamine Bayo; Ousmane Bayo. Additional script information: Mandinka Ajami.
