Abstract

This list, compiled by IFLA as part of the Anonymous Classics project, presents standardized uniform titles for anonymous epics and traditional narratives from sub-Saharan Africa, excluding Arabic works. Covering diverse linguistic and cultural traditions, it supports consistent cataloguing by including variant titles, languages, and contextual notes. The resource is intended to aid librarians and scholars in identifying and referencing Africa’s rich oral literary heritage.
