|a Biographical information: Sir Mbarak Ali Hinawy was born in Mombasa c.1896AD (1314AH). He became Liwali of Mombasa and, after the death of Sir Ali b. Salim, Liwali of the Coast. Shaikh Mbarak, as he was also known, was probably the first non-European to collect manuscripts relating to Swahili literature, and his papers were given by his family, after his death in 1959AD (1379AH), to the university of Dar-es-Salaam archives. His publications together with his surviving papers reveal the depth of his scholarship. (Frankl & Omar, 1993) |

|a Incipit: My dear Bwana Hichens, I am sorry I have taken such a long time to complete the ‘Inkishafi’ but you will realise there are so many versions of it that it takes some time to sift all the ‘evidence’ one gets |
