A description of Masqat and Oman anno 1673 A.D./1084 Q. - Floor, Willem (Moyen Orient et Océan Indien, 1985)
P. 1: in 1672 two merchants, representatives of the Dutch East Indies Company, drew up two rather detailed reports on the manner of government and trade in Masqat and Oman. The descriptive parts of their reports are appended here in translation, because they provide us with unique information on that part of the world, which hitherto was unknown. The reasons for drawing up the reports, the activities which led the Dutch to visit Masqat and those which resulted from these visits will be discussed in what follows and will cover the period between 1666 and 1676.

Yazīd b. Unaisa und Abū ʿĪsà al-Isfahānī: zur Konvergenz zweier sektierischer Bewegungen - Ess, Josef van (Studi in onore di Francesco Gabrieli nel suo ottantesimo compleano, 1984)
Yazīd b. Unaisa was an Ibāḍī who started a sectarian movement predicting a new religion, in which Muslims and Jews, and perhaps also Christians, would be absorbed. Abū ʿĪsà al-Isfahānī was a Jew who started a sectarian movement, in which Muḥammad was recognized as a prophet.

Falaj-Oasen in Sharqiya, Inner-Oman - Scholz, Fred (Die Erde, 1984)
Summary: Little is known about the genesis and the spacial structure of the settlements in Inner-Oman, South-east Arabia. The present paper describes the situation of the settlements and oases in the central region of Inner-Oman by means of three case studies. The older oases and their villages show a more irregular spatial pattern than the younger ones, owing to the social-tribal structures of the settlers, their religious customs and the existing water laws. The existence of all oases in Inner-Oman depends upon an underground watercollecting-system, the so-called Falaj, which has been common throughout Inner-Oman since several centuries. On the Ḥārithī-oases al-Darīz, al-Qābil and al-ʿIzz; the Ḥajariyyūn-oases al-Mintirib, al-Ghabbī, Jāḥis, Shāhiq and Hawayah (Ḥawiyya).

An Arabic source for late Ottoman history - Landau, Jacob M. (Économie et sociétés dans l’empire ottoman (fin du XVIIIe-début du XXe siècle). Actes du Colloque de Strasbourg (1er-5 juillet 1980), 1983)
Arabic text and translation of a trip of al-Sayyid Ḥumūd b. Aḥm. b. Sayf al-Būsaʿīdī (MS in the British Library, MS Or. 8085/25). French abstract on p. 61. A preliminary report on this MS was published in Osmanlı Araştırmaları (Istanbul), I (1980), 133-136. Travel accounts written by local people can constitute important sources for the conditions of life in the Ottoman Empire. Such is the case with the MS Riḥlat al-Sayyid Ḥumūd b. Aḥm. b. Sayf al-Būsaʿīdī, written by an Arab Muslim from Zanzibar. It comprises 42 folios, 16,7x14 cm., 12 lines to each page. The literary Arabic in which the account is written is marred by errors of syntax, accidence and spelling and is interspersed with colloquialisms borrowed from the vernacular of Zanzibar. The author started out from Zanzibar on 26 Shawwāl 1288/8 Jan. 1872. He travelled first to the Ḥijāz to perform the Ḥajj. Then he visited Egypt, Palestine and Syria, reaching as far north as Damascus. Lastly, he returned to Beirut and sailed back to Port Said, where he spent fourteen days waiting for an Ottoman ship to take him home via Suez and Jeddah. Al-Būsaʿīdī is an alert traveller who realistically observes local customs, especially those related to religion. No less relevant, he has noted down a not inconsiderable number of data expressed in facts and figures. He also gives advice on how to travel.

Études d’histoire ifriqiyenne et de civilisation musulmane médiévale - Talbi, Mohamed (Université de Tunis, 1982)

La conversion des Berbères au Khārijisme Ibādito-Sufrite et la nouvelle carte politique du Maghreb au IIe/VIIIe siècle - Talbi, Mohamed (Études d’histoire ifriqiyenne et de civilisation musulmane médiévale, 1982)
In this article, after an explanation of Wilāya - Barā’a, Quʿūd - Khurūj, Shirā’ and Taqiyya/Kitmān in “la théologie politique” of the Khārijites, detailed opinions follow on the introduction of Khārijism in the Maghreb (mainly based on non-Ibāḍī sources; of Ibāḍī sources Le Tourneau 1960, Darjīnī: Ṭabaqāt and Shammākhī: Siyar are mentioned). Treating the introduction of Ibāḍism in the Maghreb, al-Rabīʿ b. Ḥabīb’s Musnad or al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaḥīḥ in the redaction of Warjlānī is being discussed (with on page 37 note 2 a discussion of Massignon 1938). Then follow descriptions of the Berber kingdoms of Tāmasna, Tlemcen, the region of Tripoli, Sijilmāsa, Tāhart and Kairouan.

The early development of the Ibāḍi movement in Basra - Wilkinson, John Craven (Studies on the first century of Islamic society, 1982)
The internal view of the development of the Ibāḍī movement (125-126); The Khawārij beginnings (126-131); The Tafrīq of the Khawārij (131-136); The period of “intellectual” development (132-136); Proto-Ibāḍism (136-138); The organization of the Daʿwa (138-140); The Omani conversion (140-143); The Ṣufriyya-Ibāḍiyya split (143-144). At the end of his study, Wilkinson concludes: “So it can be seen that while Ibāḍī doctrine might have originated in a non-tribal milieu, it was closely linked with the political ambitions of tribal or national groups in its period of expansion. At a later stage it was able to modify the excesses of the tribal way of life in Oman, but its history was never divorced wholly from tribal politics. Indeed it could not be, for at root the concepts of the Imāma and Wilāya represented a religious transformation of tribal formulations of political power.”

Religious tradition, economic domination and political legitimacy: Morocco and Oman - Eickelman, Dale F. (Revue de l'Occident musulman et de la Méditerranée, 1980)
Oman, as it has been cut off from its neighbours and from western influence unto recent years, seems the right country for studying so-called traditional Islam. But, as soon as it is approached from the ethnographic and social historical point of view, the notion of tradition appears more complex than that can be extracted from religious texts and authorities. It is replaced by that of traditions where political and religious powers interfere. Although many ethnic groups and various religious identities coexist, Oman’s religion is mainly the Ibāḍī Islam marked by an egalitarianism convenient to the “tribe” organization and by the imamate leadership. The social organization and the religious rule were, however, influenced by involvement in maritime trade and dominions in East Africa. Sociological comparisons with Morocco enlight the complex relations which exist and have existed between religion, social organization, economic and political power.

Germany And The Turco-Italian War, 1911–1912 - Wrigley, W. David (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 1980)
The events of the Turco-Italian War (1911–1912) presented several complex problems for Germany's diplomatic and economic policies in the Near East. First, the War served as a test of strength for the Triple Alliance, because the Wilhelmstrasse (German foreign ministry) had guaranteed to maintain Italian interests in Tripolitania, but the hostilities threatened to spread into Macedonia where the Wilhelmstrasse had guaranteed Austrian interests. If the status quo of the Balkans was disturbed by the War, then an Austro-Russian diplomatic struggle might ensue, thus requiring German support for Austria-Hungary. The Germans were forced to support Italian interests in Tripolitania, while simultaneously preserving Austrian interests in the Balkans. Under these circumstances, could Germany preserve the solidarity of the Triple Alliance against internal dissension?

Mīzāb, situated between the oil and gas fields of Hassi R’mel and Hassi Mesaoud, has seen a spectacular economic flourishing. The influx of tourists, of workers from the North, modern communications and other modern developments have a serious impact on the relative isolation of the Mīzāb and on its traditional social structure.

The Municipal Council of Tunis, 1858–1870: A Study in Urban Institutional Change - Cleveland, William L. (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 1978)
Throughout the nineteenth century, the cities on the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean, Tunis, Alexandria, Beirut, Smyrna, and Istanbul among them, experienced an influx of foreign communities which, combined with an increase in the indigenous populations and new urban policies on the part of certain rulers, tended to disrupt customary patterns of urban relationships. Although the scholarship of recent years has provided a new awareness of the network of interrelationships which held together the segments of medieval Islamic urban society, studies on the nineteenth-century changes in those relationships as represented by the policies of Muhammad ῾Alī, Aḥmad Bey, and the Ottoman Tanzimat reformers, have tended to focus more on aspects of state and government than on cities as such. Yet cities, especially capital cities, reflect most intensely periods of social and institutional transition.

Hérésie, acculturation et nationalisme des Berbères barghawāṭa - Talbi, Mohamed (Actes du premier congrès d'études des cultures méditerranéennes d'influence arabo-berbère, 1973)
As far as Ibāḍī sources or secondary literature on al-Ibāḍiyya are concerned, a few references to Marcy 1936. The article starts with an English abstract: the Barghawāṭa were the rulers of a kingdom in Tāmasnā, Morocco (dynasty of Banū Ṭarīf) which lasted for four centuries (124-543/742-1148). Their heretical movement has been regarded by both chroniclers and modern scholars as a gross distortion of Islam. The object of this paper is to put their heretical movement in the perspective of acculturation and nationalism. Such an outlook is allowed by a thorough analysis of the sources of information, leading to the following conclusions: although he may have been of Jewish origin, Ṭarīf embraced the Berber cause under the banner of Ṣufrite Khārijism, at a time when the Berbers were the victim of Arab policy. The Barghawāṭa were not one tribe, but a community of various origins united by a nationalistic feeling. The founder of Barghawāṭism was not Ṣāliḥ b. Ṭarīf, but Yūnus b. Ilyās and his successor Abū Ghufayr. They converted the people through persuasion, providing them with a prophet from among their own people, War-Iyā Warā, and a Koran written in their language, as well as through violence. The author of the article goes on to analyse the unconscious process of formation of Barghawāṭism, as a new ideology emerged through contacts with the East (Yūnus borrowed from Khārijism, Shīʿism and Arab mythology). Acculturation thus assumes the role of a weapon taken from the adversary and used to achieve national liberation.

Arab-Persian land relationships in late Sasānid Oman - Wilkinson, John Craven (Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies, 1973)
Papers from the 6th Seminar for Arabian Studies, held at the Institute of Archaeology, London, 27th-28th September 1972. Clements 1981, 64: this paper concentrates on late Sassanid rule in Oman during the 6th century A.D., when the Arabs evicted Sassanid ruling classes following the arrival of Islam and thus gained real control over the land. The writer examines the social structure during the period of Sassanid rule, and considers the hypothesis that the system of land utilization and irrigation was well established before the Arabs took over. “Maintaining their tribal organizations and bedu attitudes, there is no reason to suppose that the Arabs did anything to expand the prosperity of the land or create new establishments in pre-islamic times any more than they did when they became masters of the land".

hādhihi Qā’ima li’l-Kutub al-mawqūfa ʿalà Ṭalabat al-Ibāḍiyya bi-Wikālat al-Baḥḥār bi-Ṭūlūn bi-Miṣr al-Qāhira - Ibn Yaʿqūb, Sālim (1972)
A catalogue of books and MSS in the Wikālat al-Jāmūs (Wikālat al-Baḥḥār) in Cairo, composed by Sālim b. Yaʿqūb in the 1930s, which I photographed when visiting him in Ghīzen at Jerba in June 1972. The library had 90 volumes by Maghribī Ibāḍī authors (among which 17 copies of volumes of Abū Sākin ʿĀmir al-Shammākhī’s K. al-Īḍāḥ) and ten volumes by Omani authors; the Maghribī volumes comprised 43 different titles and the Omani ones six. The registred Waqf dates were: 15 x 12th/18th c. (1131-1197/1719 - 1782-3), 12 x 13th/19th c. (1215-1276/1800-1 - 1862), and 7 x 14th/20th c. (1327-1334/1909 - 1915-6). The dates of copying of the manuscripts were: 828/1425, 883/1479; 1051/1641, 1058/1648, 1065/1654; 34 x 12th/18th c. (1114-1198/1702-1784); 12 x 13th/19th c. (1201-1272/1787-1855); 1 x 14th/20th c. (1333/1914-5). There were 70 non-Ibāḍī volumes, most of them manuscripts related to the Arabic language. The oldest non-Ibāḍī manuscript was vol. 3 of K. Muntahà ‘l-Adab fī Lughat al-Turk wa’l-ʿAjam wa’l-ʿArab, by Aḥm. b. Muḥ. b. ʿArabshāh, copied 14 Shaʿbān 852/1448 (see GAL II, 29 (ed. 1949, 36-37); S II, 24-25: Abū ‘l-ʿAbbās Aḥm. b.

The MSS copied in the Wikāla were dated 1117/1706 - 1283/1866, those copied in Cairo were dated 1065/1654-5 - 1333/1914-5. Most copies were done by Jerbans. Among the Waqf givers were: Muḥ. b. Ram. al-Baḥḥār (10 vols., two of them have as Waqf dates 1124/1712 and 1131/1718); Aḥm. b. Daḥmān together with Sul. and Yūnus b. Shaʿbān (6 vols.); Sul. b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī ‘l-Qāsim b. Yaḥyà al-Khanūsī (31 vols., most of them in 1758-9); Saʿīd b. Qāsim b. Sul. al-Shammākhī (5 vols.); Sul. b. Saʿīd al-Bakhābkhī al-Yafranī (6 vols., all donated in 1334/1915-6). The earliest MS I came across which was completed in Wikālat al-Jāmūs is Abū ʿAbdl. Muḥ. b. ʿUmar b. Abī Sitta al-Qaṣbī: [Ḥāshiya ʿalà K. al-Qawāʿid], copyist Mūsà b. al-Ḥājj Muḥ. b. Mūsà b. Ḥammū b.

Notes on Some Members of the Learned Classes of Zanzibar and East Africa in the Nineteenth Century - Martin, Bradford G. (African Historical Studies, 1971)
P. 525: this short paper is an attempt to draw a profile, to describe some of the features of the ʿUlamā’ class of Zanzibar and East Africa, based on the biographies of seven prominent members of this class who lived in the 19th century. These men show a wide range of interests, from poetry to juridprudence, from commerce to mysticism. Two of them might be described as “radicals”; the others were fairly conventional. In passing I have made a few comments on some significant points: the history of the “old Arabs” in East Africa, the role of the ʿUlamā’ class in the Muslim society of this time and place, the relations of the “learned” to trade and government, the interconnections of the two Muslim sects, Ibāḍīs and Shāfiʿīs, the literary and educational accomplishments of the ʿUlamā’, the participation of some of the ʿUlamā’ in the Qādirī and Shādhilī revivals of the 1880s and 1890s, the extent of Pan-Islamic influence in Zanzibar and East Africa. I would like to suggest a few priorities for further research in this field. The seven scholars who are treated are the Sunnī ʿUlamā’: Muḥyī ‘l-Dīn b. ʿAbdl. al-Qaḥṭānī al-Wā’ilī (c. 1790-1869), Manṣab b. ʿAlī (1863-1927), ʿAlī b. ʿAbdl. b. Nāfiʿ al-Mazrūʿī (1825-1894), ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Amawī (1832-1896), ʿAbdl. b. Muḥ. Bā Kathīr al-Kindī (b. 1864), Aḥm. b. Sumayṭ (1861-1925), and the Ibāḍī scholar ʿAlī b. Khamīs b. Sālim al-Barwānī (1852-1886) (pp. 534-535), who became a Sunnī and was imprisoned for that by Sayyid Barghash. He had studied under the leading Ibāḍī Qāḍīs of Zanzibar in Barghash’s time and before, Yaḥyà b. Khalfān al-Kharūṣī and Muḥ. b. Sul. al-Mundhirī, and a visiting scholar from Oman, Khamīs b. Sālim al-Khaṣībī (Khuṣaybī). Martin cites frequently from Farsy 1944 and 1942. According to Kagabo 1991, 63, Barwānī was a Sunnī and was converted to Ibāḍism by the Ibāḍī sheikh Khamīs b. ʿAlī, and became a Sunnī again.

I trasmettitori della dottrina ibāḍita - Crupi la Rosa, Generosa (Annali dell'Istituto Universitario Orientale di Napoli, 1953)
A study of the chains of transmitters of the Ibāḍī doctrine from: - ʿAbdl. b. Yaḥyà al-Bārūnī: Risālat Sullam al-ʿĀmma wa’l-Mubtadi’īn, pp. 31-41. The Risāla was printed as an appendix to Sul. b. ʿAbdl. al-Bārūnī’s al-Azhār al-Riyādiyya, Cairo 1304/1886-7 (sic); - Muḥ. b. Zakariyyā’ b. Mūsà al-Bārūnī al-Qalʿawī: Nisbat Dīn al-Muslimīn, in appendix to Shammākhī: Siyar, 578-583, lith. Cairo 1301/1883-4. The chains, through a line of North-African transmitters, go back to ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Rustam or Abū ‘l-Zājir Ism. b. Darrār al-Ghadāmasī, two of the five Ḥamalat al-ʿIlm who brought the Ibāḍī doctrine to North Africa, after having acquired it in Basra from Abū ʿUbayda Muslim b. Abī Karīma al-Tamīmī (1st half 2nd/8th c.). From Abū ʿUbayda Muslim al-Baṣrī some chains descend, through Abū ‘l-Shaʿthā’ Jābir b. Zayd al-Azdī [al-ʿUmānī al-Yaḥmadī al-Jawfī al-Baṣrī], ʿAbdl. b. ʿAbbās and ʿĀ’isha, to the Prophet. ʿAbdl. al-Bārūnī gives four chains of transmitters. The first begins at the end of the 6th/12th century with Maqrīn b. Muḥ. al-Bughṭūrī to end with Abū Hārūn Mūsà b. Yūnus al-Jalālamī. Then the chain bifurcates in one chain that goes back to ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Rustam and another that goes back to Abū ‘l-Zājir Ism. b. Darrār al-Ghadāmasī. The second chain begins in the 8th/14th century with Abū Sākin ʿĀmir b. ʿAlī al-Shammākhī going back to Abū Hārūn al-Jalālamī. Then the chain continues with the same names as the second chain mentioned above. In essence the names of the transmittters from the eighth to the sixth century A.H. are given. The third chain begins at the end of the 10th century with Muḥ. b. Zak. al-Bārūnī al-Qalʿawī and goes back to Abū Sākin ʿĀmir al-Shammākhī. So this chain adds the names of the transmitters between the eighth and the tenth century A.H. The fourth chain of transmitters begins also at the end of the 10th/16th or the beginning of the 11th/17th century, but gives a different chain of transmitters. It begins with Abū Mahdī ʿĪsà b. Ism. and goes back to the Rustamid ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, son of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. Qalʿawī gives the chains he acquired from Abū Sul. Dāwud b. Ibr. al-Tilātī al-Jarbī. These chains consist of five or six names, and they meet together at the name of ʿAbdl. b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Shammākhī, disciple of a disciple of Abū Sākin ʿĀmir al-Shammākhī. Then they follow the names in one of ʿAbdl. al-Bārūnī’s chains, especially the second one. Qalʿawī also gives his own chain of transmitters. In 961/1554 he travelled to the Jabal Banī Muṣʿab, where he learned the doctrine from Abū Mahdī ʿĪsà b. Ism. Beginning with this sheikh, the chain bifurcates from Abū ʿAbdl. Muḥ. b. Bakr onwards, to meet together, via the Rustamid ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and the transmitter Abū ‘l-Zājir al-Ghadāmasī, in the famous Abū ʿUbayda. The first part of the chain and the beginnings of the bifurcations are identical to the fourth chain of ʿAbdl. al-Bārūnī. The references added to certain names in the detailed lists of transmitters (127-139) are mainly to Shammākhī: Siyar; Basset 1899; Lewicki 1934b, 74. Also: Masqueray 1878a; Motylinski 1885a, 1899, 1908a, etc.

Kharijitism and the Kharijites - Thomson, William (The Macdonald presentation volume: a tribute to Duncan Black Macdonald, consisting of articles by former students, presented to him on his seventieth birthday, April 9, 1933, 1933)
P. 373: the purpose of this paper is to call attention to some aspects of Khārijite history which have been somewhat neglected, and to propose a change in the point of view from which we at present consider the development of Khārijite doctrines. Briefly stated, the thesis maintained will be that our conception of the origin and nature of Khārijitism require revision, not only in the light of certain historical facts and the known geographical spread of Khārijite sects, but also because the inner relation of Khārijite thought to contemporary movements has not been clearly recognized and its true character defined.

Entering the exciting: the distinctive features of al-Ibāḍīya - Vehkavaara, Mikko (Studia Orientalia, 1997)
Based on research at Jerba and Zanzibar. Deals in part with the issue of whether al-Ibāḍiyya forms part of al-Khārijiyya. Gives considerations about what al-Ibāḍiyya really is. Among the author’s sources are Muʿammar 1988 and Quṭbiyya 1992. P. 140 note 28: while Sachau 1894 could write at the end of the nineteenth century that Zanzibar had eight Ibāḍī and two Shāfiʿī judges, presently there is one judge for each of the ten districts plus a chief Qāḍī and an assistant chief Qāḍī, which makes a total of 12 judges, the majority of whom are Shāfiʿīs. And to make the task of the Zanzibari legal counsellors even more difficult, they not only have to keep up with the latest Ibāḍī scholarship but also be informed in the doctrines of the other Muslim minorities, such as the Shīʿite ones. Stockreiter 2002, 52, writes that after the revolution, which put an end to the reign of the Sultan, Ibāḍī judges and Ibāḍī courts were abolished.

Il conflitto ʿAlī-Muʿāwiya e la secessione khārigita riesaminati alla luce di fonte ibāḍite - Veccia Vaglieri, Laura (Annali dell'Istituto Universitario Orientale di Napoli, 1952)
the ʿAlī - Muʿāwiya conflict is a historical moment which is interesting not only owing to the very serious consequences it brought in the Islamic world, but because it gives rise to a lot of problems still unsolved or whose solution is not satisfactory. The islamists had till now for the study of the Caliphate of ʿAlī availed themselves only of philo-alid or philo-umayyad sources. The author has observed, in the course of her reading Ibāḍī texts, that two of them, the Jawāhir of al-Barrādī and the Siyar of al-Shammākhī, have handed down to us on this period of history very ancient Khārijite or philo-khārijite traditions taken from K. al-Nahrawān which was probably composed during the first half of the 2nd century A.H. The above said traditions have been of great importance to the author for two reasons, i.e.: they allowed her to fix the point of view of the Khārijites, a vague point till now; and have supplied her with the key to enable her to understand many passages of other sources (Ṭabarī, Balādhurī, Dīnawarī, Yaʿqūbī, Masʿūdī, etc. already studied by the islamists, and the Waqʿat Ṣiffīn of Naṣr b. Muzāḥim almost not utilized till now, while it supplies with information of the greatest importance).

Family strife and foreign intervention: causes in the separation of Zanzibar from Oman: a reappraisal - Bhacker, M. Reda (Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 1991)
The nineteenth-century rise of Zanzibar under the ruling Albusaidi Dynasty of Oman owed its origins primarily to the solid foundations of commercial activity laid down in Muscat in the preceding century. In the subsequent development of the Omani economy, in Omani territories in both Arabia and Africa where the dictates of the Omani political/tribal system did not allow for any centralization of authority, local communities and tribal groups resisted the domination of the Albusaidi rulers as they strove to bring under their own control the benefits of burgeoning trade. The opposition of the major Omani groups in East Africa, the Mazāri‘a of Mombasa and the Banū Nabhān of Pate, to the Albusaidis and the eventual success of the Omani rulers in dismantling and neutralizing this opposition are fairly well documented. However, the sustained challenge of Hilāl b. Sa‘īd to the reign of his father Sa‘īd b. Sulṭān, the Albusaidi ruler of Oman and Zanzibar and their dependencies from 1806 to 1856, has hitherto been neglected, despite the fact that Hilāl's resistance in East Africa was the greatest internal threat to Sa‘īd after that posed by the Mazāri'a and had dire consequences for the subsequent course of Oman's history. The conflict between father and son set in train a course of events that led inexorably to the 1861 British-sponsored dismemberment of Oman into two Sultanates, one in Arabia and the other in East Africa.

Il mausoleo dell’Imàm Aḥmad bin Saʿīd al-Būsaʿīdī e le sue iscrizioni (Al-Rustāq-Sultanato di Oman) - Baldissera, Eros (Quaderni di Studi Arabi, 1998)
Rustāq, ancient capital of Oman, in the eighteenth century was home of Imam Aḥmad bin Saʿīd, the founder of the al-Būsaʿīdī dynasty which has held power since then, when internal strife and a civil war weakened the Yaʿāriba rule and Persians took advantage of the confused situation and occupied Masqaṭ. But Aḥmad bin Saʿīd defeated them and Oman flourished under his government. At his death his son and successor Saʿīd built for him a mausoleum near the famous fort of the city and it was place of pilgrimage until the end of nineteenth century, when it was abondened. After the restauration of 1990 it got again its ancient splendour. With a short historical note and a presentation of the life and work of the Imam, this study presents the sepulcral monument and its inscriptions on five tombstones.

An Agenda for Research in History: The History of Libya between the Sixteenth and Nineteenth Centuries - Abou-El-Haj, Rifaat (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 1983)
It is perhaps premature to spell out priorities of research in the history of Libya, since bibliographies of what has already been written have not been systematically read, nor even adequately compiled and indexed. The following observations and analyses are, of necessity, based on a cursory reading in a list—compiled by the author on the history of the Arab world and Ottoman Empire (sixteenth through nineteenth centuries)—of some 500 studies done since the 1950s by Arab scholars and historians. The fifties are taken as the period which signalled the achievement of political independence by the Arab States. I realize that individual scholars will be able to make exceptions here or ther to the observations, generalizations, and criticisms which are made in this study. The very exceptions, however, point to the dearth of modern critical scholarship on the history of Libya from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries. However, the exceptions which one could point out as models for research to be done, do not in and of themselves amount to trends in research. To date, available histories of Libya are, in the main, focused on political if not outright dynastic history. The focus is usually placed on the peculiarities and the anomalies of political history rather than the primary similarities which make for comparative history. In the remainder of this paper we offer a novitiate's priorities for research under five headings.

Ninteenth-Century Reform in Ottoman Libya - Anderson, Lisa S. (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 1984)
The history of political change in Libya during the nineteenth century has been obscured by subsequent events in the Middle East and North Africa. A relatively unimportant province of the Ottoman Empire, it went to the least important European colonial power in the region – Italy – and the Italian tenure destroyed much of the legacy of Ottoman reform. Even contemporary observers in the nineteenth century usually viewed the province through a prism whose primary focus was elsewhere, leaving distorted and partial accounts of the changes wrought by the Ottoman administration. This lacuna in the literature has hindered comprehensive assessment of the Ottoman reform period and, perhaps as seriously, distorted interpretation of Libya's subsequent political history.
