Kiswahili, Mashairi ya kufananisha
maneno
Katika lugha ya kiswahili
washairi na Mashaa, walijaribu
sana kutunga juu ya kila kitu na
hapo walitunga mashairi haya
kwa kusudi kupambanua kitu
ambacho jina lake nimoja na lina
maanambali mbali, kwa mfano
kama kusema "MBUZI" hapa
tukipambanuwa twaweza kusema
ni nyama huwa yaani nimbuzi huy u
hayawani, kuna na "MBUZI" ya
kukunia nazi, na kuna "MBUZI"
ya mtu kuwa mgonjwa yaani
kuuguwa na maana mengine
nikupiga vitunu na mfano wa
kama hayo ndio mashairi ya
kufananisha maneno ya kiswahili

kisiya mfano wa mje mje, nao

na huyo mtoto alikuwa akilewa
kwa taabu na haishi maradhi na
huyo mlezi wake hakuchoka naye

INTRODUCTION
Swahili literature considering the importance and interest of the language
and the amount of research to be done, has been sadly neglected both as
regards the bibliography of published work and the collection and listing
of unpublished work.
The work of Marcel van Spaandonck 1 supplemented by that of Alberto
Mioni 2 are attempts to cover the former and this catalogue is an attempt
to approach the latter problem. It too is incomplete and by no means free
from error and there is the same justification for publishing it in a preli-
minary form. Apart from the obvious fact that no such list can ever be
complete, because while it is in the press further study is going on, to wait
until every item can be completely and accurately described means to wait
until the research has been completed which the publication of the catalogue
is intended to stimulate and so defeats its own object. This is to indicate the
magnitude of the task to be undertaken and to encourage others to make
corrections and to fill gaps.
Mioni (p. 486) says that van Spaandonck "aurait pu donner la reference
de ceux qui se trouvent dans les grandes bibliotheques et qui sont cit6s dans
les catalogues et fichiers, ou mentionnes par les auteurs qui sont edit6 ces
textes".
It is obvious that a catalogue of all such manuscripts would be of very
great value; but to make it requires time and money that have not yet been
made available. The catalogue here presented is that of a single collection
only; but that the biggest in the world. Indeed there are few important
known works of which copies are not to be found here, although of some
the oldest or the best copy may be in another collection.
We must thank first of all the Rockefeller Foundation for making the
collection possible, and secondly the Governments of Tanzania, Kenya
and the Comores from which we received all possible cooperation.
To thank all the individuals who assisted us is impossible. The list would
be so long that it would be meaningless and many of our most valuable
assistants would be embarrassed if mentioned by name. Many of them were
learned and cultured ladies of the Coast, who were ready to give into the care
of my wife their most highly valued manuscripts. Though usually they did
not wish to part with them they were most willing to allow them to be

poses and in Arabic. Such manuscripts as are to be found in Swahili in
Arabic script are imported from further north or copied locally from such
copies.
In the Comoro islands the position is very different and is confused by
the use of the word "Swahili" in colloquial French to include languages
which in English are not considered to be Swahili at all. 1 Using the word in
its English sense the Comoros are not strictly in the Swahili speaking world.
There is a large Swahili speaking community of Zanzibaris and most mem-
bers of the aristocracy know it well; but it is no more the language of the
islands than is French, which is known to quite as large a number of persons.
The interest of the Comoro islands is the different order in which the
uses of literacy seem to have grown up. We know that Islam and therefore
literacy in Arabic reached the Comoros and Madagascar not much later
than the mainland. It would appear that the greater sophistication of the
people of Madagascar resulted in the very much more rapid adaptation of
the script to the local languages and the emergence of a large amount of
non-Muslim literature in Malagasy.
The Comoro islands are virtually 100 per cent Muslim; but it is probably
from Madagascar that they imported the idea of using Arabic script for
their own languages, Ngazija. Hence, unlike the situation on the mainland
coast, the use of writing for personal correspendence is so widespread that
the Post Office has to be able to cope with Arabic script, as it does not on
the mainland, and public notices are displayed either in Ngazija in Arabic
script or in French; but seldom in Ngazija in Roman script. On the other
hand official and other serious uses have developed so late that there is
little such work written in Ngazija. We collected four historical documents
in Grande Comore of which one was in French and one in Arabic, both
some seventy years old, and two were in Ngazija, recently written by authors
who, though very old, were still alive at the time of our visit.
Our aim being the collection of pre-European material we confined our-
selves in all areas visited almost entirely to Swahili in Arabic script. We col-
lected little in other languages, or in Swahili in Roman script; because
the use of Roman implies European influence, while a document written in
1967 in Arabic script may often be described as pre-European in that it has
little or no European influence. We also collected a certain amount in
Arabic, if we had reason to believe that the material was of interest, although
my knowledge of the Arabic language is insufficient for me to be a good
judge of such material.

photographed and it will be found that the most valuable part of the col-
lection consists of manuscripts of which the originals are still in the hands
of the original owners, but of which the College now has photocopies. We
cannot omit the names of a few whose help was outstanding and from whom
we continue to receive help after our departure. We give them in chrono-
logical order. At Lindi, Mr. B. A. Mikidadi, at Pande Mr. Said Mohammed
Alley, at Lamu Mr. Ahmad Sheikh Nabahany and his grandmother Amina
Mohammed Sheikh. At Lamu also Mrs. Zaharia Maimun set herself to
collect on our behalf and was indefatigable, obtaining manuscripts not
only from Lamu, but from Pate Island also. And later we have to thank
Mr. Aboud Said Saleh of Moroni, Grande Comore and Mr. L. W. Hamisi
Kitumboy of Bagamoyo.
Pre-European literacy south of the Sahara is confined to a very few
languages. There are the writings of Christians in Ethiopia and of Muslims
in the countries to which Islam penetrated.
There is evidence that literacy came to the East African coast very soon
after the Hijra; but that it was at first a hieratic art confined to religious
works in he Arabic language. Later — often much later— its uses were
enlarged, and it should be noted that to use literacy for a new purpose is
almost as great a cultural step as the original introduction of literacy itself.
The date of the earliest writing in Swahili in Arabic script is not known.
The "°rV ? t known manuscript written in Swahili is dated 1724 and was
recently found in Goa by Dr. Edward Alpers. It may be that Swahili was
not 'viitten at all much before the year 1700 and then for some time in re-
stricted uses and iu a restricted area. This does not mean that the works then
committed to writing were necessarily then composed. Some of them are
clearly histories, stories and poems that had come down by oral tradition
from a much earlier date or that had previously been written in Arabic.
The material to be found consists of religious works of little general interest,
of historical works, of poetry, and of such ephemera as are of interest solely
because of their antiquity or provenance, which may throw light on history
and especially on social history. But even within this confined area the
general use of writing seems to be hardly older than the nineteenth century.
The area itself stretches from the Northern boundary of the Swahili speaking
world, about Mogadishu in Southern Somalia, as far South as Kilwa, in-
cluding the islands of Pemba, Zanzibar and Mafia, but no further. In
Lindi, for example, the influence of Islam and therefore of literacy seems to
have been small until so recently that the culture characterized by the use
of Arabic script was there inhibited by the introduction by the Germans
of Roman script. Arabic script is used; but mainly for purely religious pur-
viu
More than a hundred years ago Ludwig Krapf discovered the existence
of Swahih literature; but he was not interested in collecting it. After him
came a series of scholars, many of them of very high quality, who were
content to make use of what came to their hands, and to leave it to later
scholars to pick up more material. In doing this they were perfectly justified
There 1S no point in making a collection as complete as possible, unless
there is time and money to do something about it or there is danger of its
perishing if ,t is not collected and preserved. From 1930, when I began to
take an interest in the subject, until after the war, I was content to do the
same. I did little more than collect one manuscript of an unedited poem at a
time and not look for another until I had finished with it. Not until about
1953 did I begin to realize that there was serious danger of this culture
being largely lost to posterity if urgent steps were not taken to preserve it
The younger generation of Africans is, as it should be, looking forward
rather than back. It wants to be modern and "with it", but, if history tells
us anything at all it is that after a period of surge and change like the present
comes a period of nostalgia and love of things past. The grandchildren of
the present generation will be sorry if all the records of their past have perish-
ed. My aim therefore was to preserve for the future as much as possible of
this fascinating culture, so that the descendants of its own creators might
after my death have material to work upon and in which they could take
local pride.
Furthermore no literature ever sprang complete into the world. Having
no indigenous origins, the literatures of Africa are drawing their inspiration
from oral tradition or from the literatures of English, French and Portuguese.
Of all the many Bantu languages only Swahili has its own pre-European
native literature and it would be tragic if the break between ancient and
modern were so complete that writers of modern Swahili literature were to
draw nothing from their own ancestors. The break is already so severe
that the great majority of Swahili speakers educated in the western sense
do not even know of the existence of their own past literature and frequently
when working on a manuscript in Arabic script I have found it hard to
convince an African undergraduate that I am reading Swahili and not
Arabic. The break is not complete because many poets of to-day have their
feet firmly planted in the old culture; but few prose writers have any links
with it.
About this time then, I set myself to try to find ways of making a system-
atic collection for preservation. I was already acquainted with the contents
of the main collections already made, having had access to that at the School
of Oriental and African Studies in London and having myself catalogued
that in the Statsbibliothek in Berlin (although whether after the war it still
exists I do not know). I began to envisage the formation of a corpus of
Swahili literature available to all interested students, and to lay the foun-
dation for such a collection I presented to the Interterritorial Languages
Committee the few manuscripts in my possession. I hoped that other private
collectors might do the same or at least let the Committee have photo
copies; Support of this sort came from the late Sheikh Sir Mbarak Ali
Hinawy, K.B.E. who let me photograph some of his most valuable manu-
scripts, and later from his family, who have loaned a very valuable collection ;
Miss Margaret Bryan's valuable collection had been given earlier to the
committee.
My trip to Kilwa and Mafia in 1958 with my wife produced a few manu-
scripts and enabled me to draw more confident attention to the urgency of the
need of collection. 1
In 1960 the History Sub-committee of the Swahili committee was formed
under the chairmanship of Sheikh Mbarak and with Sheikh Hyder Mohamed
el Kindy as its secretary and it did excellent work during the short period of
its existence. At last in 1 962 the first systematic attempt to collect and pre-
serve the written records was begun. A generous grant from the Gulbenkian
foundation enabled Dr. Jan Knappert to concentrate on the work and he
laid the foundations of a comprehensive collection, drawn mainly from the
Mo^hp sa area. By the time of his departure the collection, now lodged in
the Office of the Swahili Committee in Dar es Salaam, was the largest and
be^t collection of Swahili literature in the world. Dr. Knappert's work
changed the collection from a small random number to a substantial and
valuable mass of material. I was still not satisfied. I felt that the search
should be extended over the whole Swahili speaking world.
In May 1965 I accepted an appointment made possible by the generosity
of the Rockefeller Foundation as Honorary Research Fellow of the Uni-
versity College Dar es Salaan, Tanzania, my duties being "the collection
of manuscripts of literary, linguistic and historical interest of the Swahili
speaking world and the editing, translation, cataloguing and publishing of
such material."
It is obvious that in my terms of reference priority had to be given to
collection, without which there can be no editing, translation or publishing
The other activities are too big a task for any one person, and I have largely
left them to be done, by myself when I am too old to travel further, and by
others after me. It is however clearly my duty to leave behind a catalogue

of sufficient detail for others to be able to use the collection and to make
arrangements for its preservation now that it is out of my hands.
In addition we had the use of a tape recorder; but we did not make a great
deal of use of it, because we felt that our primary work was the collection of
written records. From the point of view of the preservation and explanation
of the culture this was a mistake. Swahili poetry is written or composed to be
sung or chanted and the composer has in his mind the musical scheme as
well as the verse metre and in order to understand the verse forms it is
necessary to have access to manuscripts and tapes of the same pieces so that
they may be compared. 1 A representative collection of tapes has been begun
by Mr Ahmad Sheikh Nabhany and his wife Mrs Khadija (see Tapes 193-
327). This collection is being analysed and transcribed by them and others
and it is hoped that in due course this will lead to the production for the
first time of a comprehensive analysis of Swahili verse forms.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE CATALOGUE
The catalogue is arranged as follows:
Part ONE
Serial lists
1. Swahili manuscripts (Nos 1 sqq.)
Each entry gives, so far as it is known :
a) The serial number.
Users of previous lists should be warned that some numbers have been
changed. The withdrawal of all manuscripts other than Swahili to the
general and Arabic lists has left vacant numbers, which have been reused,
largely by dividing collections of papers previously listed under single
numbers and giving separate numbers to the parts.
b) The number of pages.
This must be treated as approximate only. It will often be found to
include a few pages at the beginning and end, containing totally irrelevant
material. The pages are often numbered and then reference is made to the
written numbers; but these may not be consecutive. When a manuscript is
written in a book with page numbers printed in the European style, if
Arabic script is used, the numbers will be in reverse order.
c) The dimensions of the paper.
d) The date of the manuscript, either as given in it, or as known for some
other reason.
e) The word "Film" means that the original manuscript is still in private
hands and that the college possesses only a photocopy.
f) Obt. from: the person from whom the manuscript was obtained, the
place and the date of acquisition.
g) "Copyright" means that copies cannot be supplied without the
permission of the owner. This does not mean that in the absence of this
warning it may be assumed that the work is free of copyright and users must
be themselves responsible for ascertaining the position. The college can
accept no responsibility. It should, however, be noted that the manuscripts
of the Hinawy Loan Collection may be freely used, provided that in any
published work suitable acknowledgment is made. This generous gesture
xiu
has recently been made by the heirs of the late Sir Mbarak AH Hinawy
K.B.E.
h) Short title, sufficient for reference to Part II.
i) The script: This is usually Arabic (A) or Roman (R).
N.B. Manuscripts are listed as Swahili if they are in or about Swahili.
Bilingual and interlinear works are listed as Swahili ; but substantial parts
of manuscripts, wholly in Arabic, are listed at the beginning of the Arabic
Section (Part 1.2).
2. Arabic manuscripts (Nos 2501 sqq.)
Similarly arranged. This section is largely the work of Mr M. R. Alidina.
3. Serial list of Tapes (Nos 1 sqq.)
Each entry gives, so far as it is known:
a) The serial number.
b) The speed in cm/sec. ; the place and date of collection and the name of
the collector.
c) Sp. The name of the speaker or singer.
d) The Title.
N.B. a), b), and sometimes c) may refer to more than one title.
Part TWO
1. Alphabetical list of Swahili manuscripts and tapes by titles and first lines.
It has been thought wise to make a single list of these, because of many
pieces the first line has virtually becoms the title.
Each entry gives, so far as it is known:
a) The title (in bold).
b) The first line (in italics).
If a piece is known by more than one title, the details are given under the
title most commonly used. If a piece has no title the details are given under
the first line.
c) The author.
This is often a doubtful attribution.
d) The "code". This consists of three numbers — the number of syllables
to the line, the number of lines to the verse and the number of verses, followed
xiv
by the syllable or word recurring at the end of every verse. The number of
verses is often approximate only because of the difference between manu-
scripts and versions.
e) References to published editions.
f) References to manuscripts and tapes.
Very occasionally reference is made to manuscripts not in the possession
of the college; but no attempt has been made to include complete lists from
other collections. There are also occasional references to pieces of which the
college possesses no manuscript.
g) Notes. These, when a piece is represented in the Nabhany collection of
tapes, include Mr Nabhany's notes, unless a piece is so well known and
written up that these are felt to be unnecessary.
2. List of fragments and pieces of which, pending further study, no adequate
description can yet be given.
3. List of Swahili prose works roughly classified. The details, so far as they
are known, will be found in Part I.
N.B. No attempt has been made to make similar lists for Arabic manu-
scripts. The list is short and all that is know at present is.to.be found in Part I.
Some of them may be of historical or literary interest; but many were acquir-
ed solely for their interest as specimens of paper, handwriting etc. or for their
age.
