Résumé

Pp. 131-132: in the MNHC there is an undated MS entitled al-Sīra al-Kilwiyya. This is a composite work made up of the following items: (i) what may be called the Kilwa Sīra proper, that is a piece of rhymed prose called al-Maqāma al-Kilwiyya by Muḥ. b. Saʿīd al-Qalhātī with a commentary by Rāshid b. ʿUmar ... b. al-Naẓar; (ii) Sīra by Abū ‘l-Mundhir Salma b. Muslim al-ʿAwtabī to ʿAlī b. ʿAlī al-Kilwī and his brother al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī al-Kilwī; (iii) a chapter entitled Bāb fī ‘l-Tawḥīd wa-Tafsīrihi ʿalà Madhhab al-Muslimīn (from a book modelled on K. al-Firdaws) by ʿAbd al-Salām ... Saʿīd b. Aḥm. b. Muḥ. b. Ṣāliḥ; (iv) al-Qaṣīda al-Ḥimyariyya, by Nashwān b. Saʿīd al-Ḥimyarī (d. 573/1178) (see GAL I, 300 (364, ed. 1943) and S I, 527-8). In this article the first two works only will be examined. Discussion will concentrate on the Omani background of these documents, since this contribution is aimed at complementing a study that has been published in the International Journal of African Historical Studies which discusses the implications of these documents for East-African history (Wilkinson 1981).
