Abstract:The African Anton Wilhelm Amo was born around 1705, taken to Holland in 1707, served at the court of Duke Anton Ulric in Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, attended the universities of Halle, Wittenberg and probably Helmstedt, taught at Halle. Wittenberg and Jena, returned to Ghana sometime before 1753 and died some time after. The author tried to examine these bare facts as closely as possible, to fill them out with a careful study of the known records of, and references to, this remarkable man, and thus to present the most comprehensive picture of his career yet done. Notes.
