FOREWORD
This is a title catalogue of the Arabic MSS kept in the
Museum of Jos and the Lugard Hall Library in K ad una.
The authors would like to thank Kr. B. Pagg for putting
the MSS of Jos Museum at their disposal for the purpose of
cataloguing. They would also like to thank Al-Haji Muntaka
Coomassie for helping with some queries and for his promise
to catalogue the remaining MSS of the Jos collection which'
are in Arabic script but in Fulani, Hausa and Yoruba languages.
These are well over three hundred manuscripts. The authors
would also like to express their thanks to Ali-Haj i 'Umaru
Guanda, Speaker, House of Representatives, Kaduna for sending
...w Lugard Hall Library collection to the^n during their stay
in Zaria.

PREFACE
It is only fair to put on record that our knowledge of
these manuscripts dates from April 1963 when Mr. B. Pagg,
former Director of Antiquities, Federal Republic of Nigeria,
and Director of the Jos Museum in Northern Nigeria, who ie
current-!. 7 the Curator of the Pitt-Rivera Museum, Oxford, kindly
drew out attention to the Jos Museum's collection of Arabic
manuscripts. He also stated that al-Haji Muntaka Coomaseie of
the Institute of Administration, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,
had played the greatest part in purchasing the collection for
the Jos Museum. Dr. A. Bivar, formerly the Curator of Jos Museum,
and presently Lecturer at the S.O.A.S., University of London,
had managed to purohase for the same Museum over a hundred of
those manuscripts.
In the last two years wo have been able to complete the
present oatalogue which contains over one thousand of those
manuscripts, practioally all that is kept at Joe Museum and
thirty manuscripts kept in the Library of Lugard Hall, Northern
House of Representatives, Kaduna, Northern Nigeria.
It should not be inferred, however, that we are only aware
of the presence in Nigeria, of the Jos collection and that of
Lugard Hall. ,e know of Ibadan University Library's oollectinn
which is much smaller than the Jos collection. V.'e know of Sokoto
Native Authority's collection and of al-Haji Junaidu, tfazirin
Sokoto 's collection. Al-Kaji Junaidu was kind enough to spare
many hours in five consecutive days in January I964 when we
read and discussed with him various manuscripts in his private
collection. We also know of the Judicial School's colleotion
in Kano and of the collection of the National Archives at Kaduna.
All these collections await cataloguing.
Moreover, we are told that the Jos collection is adequately
representative of the various branches of study reflected by
those Arabic manuscripts. This we can confirm after our examin-
ation of al-Haji Junaidu's collection, Lugard Hall and Kaduna's
National Archives collections.
The main subjects covered by these manuscripts are:
History, Religion, Language (Arabic CVammar), Poetry, Astronomy,
Astrology, Mathematics, Folk-lore, Prose, Geography, Education,
Sociology, Logic and Jurisprudence (Sharl'a).
To discuss, even briefly, each of these subjects and show
how it is represented in the Jos collection would require more
than that which we would like to include in this short introduction.
Yet we feel that something must be said, no matter how brief it is.
History, which is a very popular subject, is very well re-
presented. The Jos collection contains a number of Sir Richmond
Palmer's former collection. Kano, Daura, Sokoto, Katsina and many
other town in Northern Nigeria are well served. Al-Haji Junaidu's
collection is especially important for the correspondence with the
Mahdiyya movement of the Sudan. Al-Haji Junaidu, himself fi historian,
a poet and a great literary figure, has contributed to the history
of the Fulanis in his work. Ta'rikh al-Fulani . There is no doubt
that the history of Nigeria in particular and West Africa in general
will become richer when full use of these manuscripts is made.
Hr. B. Pagg rightly believes that those manuscripts may well be
the only reliable sourceof information on Nigerian History and
other aspects of Nigerianlife.
Islam seems to be the most favourite subject in most of those
manuscripts. The reader will be astonished at the huge number of
v-^i ~ri Hadlth and Fiqh (the four orthodox Sunni Schools of
Muslim thought) he finds among the collection. Many very old
versions or copies of Sahih al-Bukhari are there. The Maliki
Sunni School is particularly well served. This is due to the fact
that it was the School prevalent in Morocco and North Africa
from where Islam spread to the West African territory and the Sudan.
One can read not only those classical works on gadith and Piqh ,
but also the scholarly works of late Fulani leaders and thinkers
such as Shaikh 'uthman b. Fudl, Shaikh *Abd Allah b. Fudi, Sultan
Muhammad Bello and others. Their contribution in this field cannot
be underestimated. They were both statesmen and religious thinkers.
The teachings of Arabic, the language of the vjur'anj is also
very well looked after. The major classical works on Arabic Granular
( Nahw ) are copied and commented on. Pre-Islamic famous poems
( al-mu allaqat ) are all there. There are also many Arabic poens
composed by the natives from Nigeria and 'u'est Africa. These follow
the same Arabic patterns. Poems in tyausa, Yoruba and Fulani lan-
guages are written in Arabic characters and Arabic poetical uetros.
Other works in those languages are abundant in the various col-
lections and they are again written in Arabic characters.
As far as the Arabic script is concerned, the majority of
the manuscripts are written in Naskhi script with some K^fic
letters. This Naskhl has some maghribi style, especially the
cursive lettering and the placing of the dots for the letters
ak and_f£'. Diacritical points are not omitted and orthogi^phio
signs are used, almost in every manuscript and they are put in a
colour which is different from that of the text. Special reeds
are used in writing those manuscripts. Even the later ones are
not written with pens or fountain pens. This is still observed
until now in both Zaria and Sokoto and may be in other towns in
Northern Nigeria.
The ink itself was locally made and prepared by the copyists.
The paper is of various kinds and comes mainly from Italy and
Great Britain. This is indicated by the various trade marks.
One should stress the various beautiful figures represented by
those trade marks as described in different places of this cata-
logue.
In cataloguing these manuscripts we did our best to give
the names of both books and authors with the spelling given in
the manuscripta themselves. It was indeed rather difficult to
identify authors in some cases, because their names are usually
given after two pages or more in the text, on the one hand and,
sometimes, the first pages were missing.
Finally we have to say that where it was possible we iden-
tified the missing authors and put their names between two brackets.
Lugard Hall Library's manuscripts are given the abbreviation MSJC
while Jos's are MS. It may also be noticed that a small number
of the M3S given in this catalogue are not commented upon by uo.
This was due to time pressure since we were to leave Northern
Nigeria for final leave rather unexpectedly. We, therefore, thought
it better to register these MSS than to leave them.
