Tarikh Jenne
Scope and Contents
This is an account, signed in 1970 and photographed by me in 1976 as part of the MAMMP (Malian Arabic Manuscript Microfilm Project funded by a grant from NEH to Yale University). It deals very summarily with the history of Jenne, within the context of the Middle Niger Delta, and at one point chronicles the reigns of Hamdullahi, then Umar and his nephew Ahmad al-Tijani, and then the French (“Christians”), who controlled the town in the 19th and 20th centuries.
