Information on the Sereer from traveller's descriptions and archives since the 15th century are scarce and biased : they express the viewpoint of Europeans who, themselves, were . influenced by the opinions of their usually Wolof guides and informants. Starting in the 18th century descriptions became more accurate, even though they still depicted the Sereer as savage and indépendant., To be used, these documents, of lessen quality than oral traditions, must be severely criticized
