Abstract:Crawford, in co-operation with Dr Maria Bersu, published in his book 'The Fung Kindom of Sennar', a full translation of a few pages of the itinerary of Theodor Krump. He did not take into consideration most of the ethnographical notes given by Krump, or else merely summarized them. Mr Herzog brings to light through translation those sketches in Krump's book that describe the everyday events happening in the life of the average Sudanese of more than 250 years ago. Notes.
