ARABIC  COLLECTION

A  further 59  items from the  Institute of African  Studies arable

manuscript  collection are  check-listed below.  As space and time prevented
the publication of a  check-list  for the remaining  193 items which have
been provisionally  catalogued,  the  following were chosen on the basis of
subject or author.

(i)  Section  A  consists of works likely  to be of direct  concern
to those  interested  in  the history of Ghana and neighbouring

.  states.

(H)  Section  B  comprises works by or about the celebrated author
al-Hajj  cUmar  b.  AbfBakr  of  Kete  Krakye who died in  1934

(Hi)  Section  C 

is composed of works concerning  ol-Hajj

Mahmud Karantaw  who founded the  19th Century  jiha'd state
of  Boromo/Wahabu  in modern Upper Volta.  Other manuscripts
which would come under these heads have of course appeared
in earlier  check-lists published in the  Research Review.

Once  again we  thank  the malams who continue  to place these

documents at our disposal, al-Hajj  cUthmah  b.  Ishaq Boyo who collects
and returns them,  and Mr.  A.B.  Moro of  Legon Hall  for his valuable
assistance  in cataloguing them.
