Notes

Abstract:
The first part of the bound volume consists of notes relating to the history of Lamu and Other coastal towns, dated from AD 600 to 1890. The volume also contains the following: two leaves of notes on Pemba; three leaves of notes on ‘Zanzibar and Tumbutu’; a leaf on the ‘Wa Baurii’ and one on the genealogy of the ‘Ba-Urii family’; a leaf on the genealogy of the ‘Ba-Alui family’; three leaves on the ‘sultans of vumba kuu’; three leaves on the genealogy of the ‘Ba-Amiri family’; a note on the town of ‘Ozi,’ near Malindi; a translation of extracts from a book by Seyyid Abdurahman bin Muhammad bin Hussein Al-Mash’hur on the descendants of the Prophet Mohammed; 12 leaves of notes on the ‘Diwans of Vumba’; three leaves of notes on regions of the East African coast; a note concerning ‘early gold traffic,’ including the inscription from ‘Queen Hatasu’s mortuary temple at Thebes,’ c. 1450 B.C., and a reference to ‘Amu.’ At least a portion of these notes derives from writing by Arthur Robinson. That writing is not named, however, and whether it was published is not known. ( en )
