Sultan, Caliph, and the Renewer of the Faith

Beschreibung

Representing a significant re-examination of the Tarikh al-fattash, proved to be one the most important nineteenth-century sources for the history of West Africa, this study makes use of previously unpublished Arabic manuscripts to reveal the true author of the chronicle and its place in the evolution of West African civilization.
