Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 0x0x0; A short tear to dustjacket. A new edition of the Swahili text by J W T Allen, using modern orthography and developments in Swahili philology since the turn of the century (1903), when the volume was first published. It is complete and unabridged, except for the omission of a summary of the Law of Islam on certain matters. The Africans who wrote the Desturi were "pure Swahili persons" around the town of Bagamoyo in Tanzania, directly opposite Zanzibar Island. In the 1890s they were asked by Dr Carl Velten, a German linguist, to write down the traditions and customs of their people.
