Extract

During the summer of 1987 I was able to visit manuscript collections in Ibadan, Kaduna, Zaria, Kano, and Sokoto to check and expand data for my projected contribution to the multi–volume Arabic Literature in Africa, edited by myself and R. S. O'Fahey. These notes are based on my experiences with the various collections at that time.
