Abstract:
This manuscript contains two separate incomplete items. First, there is part of a translation into Swahili of a Maulidi poem originally written in Arabic. This poem is sung at the birth of the Prophet’s celebration (Maulidi). There are only 7 pages of the poem missing the end. This is followed by a Waadhi, religious admonition, missing the beginning of the poem. This religious poem is mainly unreadable. ( en )
