|a This portion of MS 47779 contains a partial version of the Utenzi wa Wadi Isbani (or Sisibani). A transliteration, probably by William Taylor, follows the pages in Arabic script. The writing of the scribe is difficult to read, and his spelling is erratic. The manuscript exemplifies (see, for example, the first several lines) the manipulation of Arabic words to fit a Swahili rhyme scheme, resulting in phrases that are neither properly Swahili nor correct Arabic. The scribe identifies himself as Abdallah. |
