|a This file contains seven envelopes with various sections of the typescript manuscript of the book ‘The Customs of the Swahili people. The Desturi za Waswahili of Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari’ edited and translated into English by JWT Allen and published in 1981 at University of California press. However the first scholar to collect these information from Mtoro bin Mwinyi Bakari and Other Swahili people was the German linguist Carl Velten who published his findings in 1903 under the title ‘Desturi za Wasuaheli na khabari za desturi za sheri’a Wasuaheli’. A manuscript copy of the 1903 version is contained here in envelope 5. Subsequently, Allen found further information that he edited and translated in his book, based on the present seven envelopes manuscript. Allen stated in the preface to the book that ‘The Desturi is an account of Swahili civilization made when it was already centuries old and had achieved so much, at the very moment when it received the full impact of Western intrusion’ (p.vii). The last envelope of this file contains correspondence relating to the publication of the manuscript. |
