This book pays tribute to the scientific achievements of Otto Dempwolff (25 May 1871 – 27 Nov 1938), late Professor for African languages and one of the distinguished founders of the Department for African and Ethiopian Languages, University of Hamburg. It consists of two versions (manuscript and typewritten) of his groundbreaking lectures on the systematic introduction of Proto-Bantu held from 1930 to 1935, and still of considerable interest to the study of the Bantu languages.
