Tarikh Dingiray
Scope and Contents
I received this copy in 1981 from Dr Labelle Prussin, who made a photographic copy in the town of Dingiray about that time. It is difficult to read, but seems to have been composed at the time of Ahmad al-Kabir’s reign and even to make reference to his death at Maikulki (late 1897), near Sokoto. It seems to deal primarily with the Umarian family, and particularly his sons, in Dingiray.
