Tantara ny Andriana eto Madagasikara

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tantara ny Andriana eto Madagasikara ( History of the Nobles in Madagascar ) is a collection of oral traditions about the Kingdom of Imerina in Madagascar . It was recorded and edited by the Jesuit missionary François Callet between 1878 and 1881. Originally the collection was written in Malagasy . In 1908 it was published in French translation (Tantara ny Andriana - Histoire des rois).

Many events in the Kingdom of Madagascar are only recorded in this collection, so it forms the core of any historical work on Merina. In addition, there are also lesser traditions from other Malagasy tribes. However, the book has often been commented on, criticized and questioned. For example: Ravelojaona et al., 1937; Ramilison, 1951; Kent, 1970; Délivré, 1974; Berg 1988; and Larson, 2000.
