Anton Wilhelm Amo, a Nzema philosopher from Axim, Dutch Gold Coast, served as a professor at the universities of Halle and Jena in Germany. He was brought to Germany by the Dutch West India Company and gifted to Dukes Augustus William and Ludwig Rudolf of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Duke Anthony Ulrich, their father, treated him as a family member. In 2020, Oxford University Press released an English translation of his Latin works from the early 1730s.
