- Résumé
- Scattered among the Arabic books and MSS section of the Zanzibar Archives are a number of books written by, or which contain ownership of Waqfiyya notices written by, various members of the Mundhirī family. The Mundhiris were cultivated scholars through at least three generations, who not only collected and endowed MSS, but also wrote them. The family was established in the Malindi quarter of Zanzibar city before Sayyid Saʿīd b. Sulṭān finally settled on the island in 1832. ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Mundhirī did most to establish and consolidate the Waqf of books. Although only fragments of his work survive, what we do have gives much information about the intellectual climate in Zanzibar at the end of the 19th century. A list of titles included in the Waqf is included in the article.
