Ḥāmid b. Muḥammad al-Murd̲j̲ibī, alias Tippu Tip, naquit à Zanzibar vers 1837 d’ascendance afroarabe. Son arrière-grand-père, Rad̲j̲ab b. Muḥammad b. Saʿīd al-Murd̲j̲ibī, originaire de Masḳaṭ [q.v.], s’était lui-même établi sur la côte opposée, à Zanzibar, où il avait épousé une femme afro-arabe, fille d’un membre du célèbre clan Nabhānī, Ḏj̲umaʿ b. Muḥammad al-Nabhānī.

Scattered among the Arabic books and MSS section of the Zanzibar Archives are a number of books written by, or which contain ownership of Waqfiyya notices written by, various members of the Mundhirī family. The Mundhiris were cultivated scholars through at least three generations, who not only collected and endowed MSS, but also wrote them. The family was established in the Malindi quarter of Zanzibar city before Sayyid Saʿīd b. Sulṭān finally settled on the island in 1832. ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Mundhirī did most to establish and consolidate the Waqf of books. Although only fragments of his work survive, what we do have gives much information about the intellectual climate in Zanzibar at the end of the 19th century. A list of titles included in the Waqf is included in the article.

In this article three cases before the Sultan’s Court for Zanzibar and Pemba are presented over inheritance involving the possession of shambas, farms and farmhouses in the agricultural areas (from the Zanzibar National Archive, files HC8/1-140). For the Ibāḍiyya, the main legal text was K. al-Nīl wa-Shifā’ al-ʿAlīl of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Ibr. al-Muṣʿabī al-Thamīnī (1130-1223/1718-1808). To this, the most frequently used commentary was Sharḥ al-Nīl by Muḥ. b. Yūsuf Iṭfayyish (1260-1332/1820-1914). Another much used work on Ibāḍī inheritance law was the Mukhtaṣar by the Omani author Abū ‘l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Bisyawī. Pp. 8-9: information on the Ibāḍī Qāḍī ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Mundhirī (1866-1925).

Study of borehole data in the foothill region of the Jabal Nafusah shows that the Suq al Jum'ah palaeowadi, which cuts the jabal east of Gharyan, comprised a major drainage channel which extended in the subsurface far out from the jabal into the southern part of the Jifarah Plain. The channel is filled with sands and gravels. Basalt lava flows, channelled along the valley in outcrop for 36 km, extend for a further 48 km in the subsurface. The palaeowadi was possibly initiated in the Pliocene and appears to have been completely filled and abandoned by the end of the Pleistocene. During Holocene rejuvenation of the drainage system, the Wadi al Majanin developed as the major wadi in the region. It did not, however, excavate the palaeowadi but instead followed a different but roughly parallel northward trend.

Major and trace element data of Jabal Nafusah phonolites are compared with those of other phonolitic provinces: Rhoen, Hegau and Kaiserstuhl (West Germany); Massif Central and Velay (France); and - with data from the literature - Kenyites and other phonolites of Kenya. In this geochemical comparison the character of the Jabal Nafusah phonolites can be specified exactly. Additional new analytical data are given for the elements Nb, U, Th, F, S and Cl. Between Zr, Nb, U and Th there are positive correlations. Plots of Rb versus Nb, and particularly Nb versus Zr reveal "fans", illustrating the individual differentiation trends of the distinct phonolite provinces. A plot on hyperbolic axes brings the data of the diverging fan to a common curve. Each province occupies its own field on this diagram; the Jabal Nafusah phonolites are situated in an extreme position. On triangular plots it can be shown that the Jabal Nafusah phonolites are enriched (relative to other elements) in Al, Na, Fe, Ca, K, Ti, Zr, F, Cl and Th as compared with other phonolitic provinces; but depleted in Mg, S, Nb and P.
