Atlantic is one of the most diversified and most problematic Niger-Congo families as far as evidence for a monogenetic origin is concerned. Moreover, the group remains poorly known. Besides well-studied languages such as Fula, Wolof and Serer some sixty lesser known languages of Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are currently believed to belong to Atlantic. Many of these languages are not yet documented, and some never will - they disappeared some decades ago or are just on the verge of extinction. This book provides an overview of Atlantic south of the Wolof, Serer and Fula-speaking regions. The sections on the various Atlantic languages present information on phonology, morphology and basic syntacticpatterns by using General Linguistic Theory. Lexical material is presented in comparative wordlists. All data stem from the author's own fieldwork in the 1950s and 1960s in Guinea Bissau and Guinea.

La réputation de Jean-François de Troy et le nombre de ses tableaux n'ont pas empêché que ce peintre typique du XVIIe français tombe dans l'oubli. Il a de surcroît été souvent confondu avec son père François. C. Leribault consacre à l'auteur de La lecture de Molière et des cartons de L'histoire de Jason une monographie qui propose un récit de sa carrière ainsi qu'un catalogue raisonné.
