| Summary: | Johannes Rebmann, the first European to set eyes on Mount Kilimanjaro, served as a pioneer missionary in East Africa in the mid-nineteenth century, commissioned by the Anglican Church Missionary Society. Lexicography was his main occupation, but he faced several serious challenges: theological and methodological differences with his closest colleague, colonialism and slavery, and personal health problems. The author of this book has himself served in Malawi and participated in the recent English-Chichewa dictionary. Paas uses an impressive number of primary sources, letters and archival materials to paint the picture of Rebmann, his life and work. (English) |
