Résumé

This paper presents Shaykh al-Amīn’s history of the Mazrūʿīs -an Omani tribe which was brought to Mombasa in about 1698- and evaluates its intellectual legacy to East Africa. Although the manuscript concentrates on the history of the Mazrūʿīs in East Africa, it comprises considerable material pertaining to other groups that played an important role in the history of the area. The Mazrūʿī history describes the interal factional struggles in Oman and its impact on East African Arab and Swahili communities. It also sheds light on the Portuguese and their policy during the period of their domination of the East African coast.
