Additional Details

another rare survival from the era of apartheid. This "almanac," produced and distributed by the Lutheran Missions was basically an appointment book based on the church and Bible readings: "Mateu," "Duteronomi." The preliminary pages show the Queen of England and the Prince of Wales and some sort of brief history of the Cape Colony. There follows a page for each month with what seem to be suggested Bible readings, along with an opposing blank page for notes, with which this copy is filled. The native who owned this almanac, Miyk a e li Madela (Michael Mandela, related??) was obviously literate. He has filled most of the pages up with notes. oclc locates only two copies: benedictine abbey library, south africa and lutheran seminary in minnesota.
