曼萨 (称谓)
曼萨（Mansa）是曼丁卡语词汇，意为统治者，即国王或皇帝，亦可与伊斯兰教的称谓苏丹对应，是中世纪西非马里帝国的君主称谓。马里帝国在13世纪至15世纪支配西非，曼萨垄断贸易，从而极度富有。松迪亚塔·凯塔是马里帝国的第一位曼萨，他开创了马里帝国凯塔王朝的统治。历史上其他著名的曼萨还有乌利一世和穆萨一世[1][2][3][4][5]。

On page 256, Jan Jansen writes: “Mansa is generally translated as 'king,' 'ruler' or 'ancestor.' The Griaulians, however, often translate mansa as 'God,' 'the divine principle' or 'priest king,' although they never argue the choice for this translation, which has an enormous impact on their analysis of the Kamabolon ceremony.”
