Wojewódzki I. [Review:] N. A. Dobronravin. The Arabic-Script Written Tradition in West Africa. St. Petersburg: St. Petersburg State University, Oriental Faculty, 1999, 178 pp., ill. // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 5. No. 4. December 1999. P. 69—70.
Arabic-language and Arabic-script culture in Africa has
long been a marginal area within the study of Muslim
culture. Recently, however, interest in the subject has been
on the rise throughout the world. It is sufficient to mention
the journal Sudanic Africa, or that the long-awaited
“African” issues of Verzeichnis der orientalistischen
Handschriften in Deutschland are finally appearing, the
first volumes of “Arabic Literature of Africa” have been
published, and the al-Furqan Islamic Heritage Foundation is
publishing catalogues of manuscripts in African collections.
Petersburg’s Africanists have also joined in the study of this
subject. Among works which have recently appeared are
A. A. Zhukov’s Suakhili: Iazyk i literatura (Swahili:
Language and Literature), St. Petersburg, 1997, and
V. Vydrine’s Sur l’écriture mandingue et mande en caractères
arabes, see Mandenkan, No. 33 (Paris, 1998)...
