"When this book made its first appearance in 1958, it was well received by lovers of Yoruba history and culture. Indeed, the most famous scholar of the Yoruba at that time, Professor S. O. Biobaku, who encouraged the project, supplied a foreword to the first edition. The reason for reprinting this book is exactly the same reason expressed many years ago: a new generation remains ignorant of the history of their people. The central focus is the city of Ile-Ife; the author, the late J. A. Ademakinwa, was an Ife indigene. He puts the mythologies and traditions of his people to good use to speak to a host of subjects.." . . "Ademakinwa's book fulfills the goals set out by the author, conveying ideas to understand historical events within the idioms and conception of history by his own people. It links rituals with mythologies to explain events and phenomena. It explains the formation of Yoruba customs and culture in combination with traditional accounts that tell us about Yoruba history and culture. The book deals primarily with a past that is no more, that very distant time not covered by scientific explanations but by mythologies. In this sense, the myths are valid within the rubric of traditional stories. The book can be enjoyed at multiple levels: as the history of Ife and the Yoruba; as a body of impressive myths about the past; and as the memory of a different age." -Toyin Falola University Distinguished Teaching Professor Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities The University of Texas at Austin (From the New Foreword) ABOUT THE AUTHOR J. A. Ademakinwa is believed to have been born in Ile-Ife sometime in 1894 according to the Yoruba traditional method of age calculation in the absence of official birth registry records. He was among the earliest Ife indigenes to embrace the Christian faith. As a result of this conversion, he was admitted to the CMS Primary School, Aiyegbaju, Ile-Ife. His brilliant performance at the school earned him a scholarship to the prestigious St. Andrew's College, Oyo from where he graduated in 1918. Upon graduation, he taught in several schools in the Old Western Region of Nigeria before moving to Lagos in 1928 where he continued his teaching career and eventually retired. During a teaching tenure at Ijebu-Ode, he met a fellow teacher and an indigene of the town, Victoria Abosede Oluyemi-Wright whom he later married in Lagos in 1930. The union was blessed with six children. J. A. Ademakinwa was one of the founding members of the Yoruba Research Council. Between the early 1940s and late 1960s, he was a regular contributor to major Lagos-based newspapers as well as Radio programs. He was also the author of The History of St. Andrew's College, Oyo and The History of Christ Apostolic Church (both written in Yoruba language).

Document from the year 2020 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, grade: 3.1, Adekunle Ajasin University (History and International Studies), course: Historiography, language: English, abstract: This essay aims to give a short introduction into the discipline of Archeology and its distinction from History. The thrust of this piece is on the contributions of this all important venture to the historical reconstruction of Ile-Ife, Nigeria, the cradle of Yoruba civilization. Archeology as a discipline, as distinct from history but complementary to it, has played a facultative role in the historical reconstruction of preliterate societies overtime. The thrust of this piece is on the contributions of this all-important venture to the historical reconstruction of Ile-Ife, the cradle of Yoruba civilization. The fact that history deals with the past in time perspective, understandably makes it peremptory for the historical researcher to approach its study from a multidisciplinary perspective: Hence, Archeology.

This short book is a translation of some of the myths of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It is a history of the creation of the world, the gods, and humanity, and the early days of the sacred city of �f�, the traditional center of Yoruba culture. The text was recited to the author/translator by the high priests of �f�, and the book is still cited in some books on traditional Yoruba religion and thought today.
