Published in 1347AH which makes the absence of a clear publisher's name odd.Collection description The Maalim Idris Collection is a privately curated collection, accumulated over time, primarily as an exercise in heritage preservation. The owner of the collection was the late Maalim Muhammad Idris Muhammed Saleh (1934-2012) in Zanzibar. The various series shelfmarks are indicative of where an item was digitized or under whose auspices. Records bearing the shelfmark MPRINT-CSMC-MIC were imaged at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. Those designated MPRINT-UIB-MIC were imaged by team members at the University of Bergen. Finally, those with MPRINT-EAP1114 (the largest series) were imaged in Zanzibar between 2018-2019 under the auspices of the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library supported by the Arcadia Fund. Several academic books, theses and articles have been authored on the basis of Maalim Idris's collection. However, Maalim himself emphasized his collection as a gateway to a Zanzibari religious heritage that in his opinion had been lost. His main concern was that this be made accessible to "the young people" as an intellectual – as well as physical – link to their past. Maalim Idris obtained his collection through inheritance, and through various sources, with a particular influx from the Comorian community of Zanzibar – of which he was a member. The previous lives of the printed books are evident in the many ownership- and waqfiyya notes. The collection is an eclectic assembly of materials ranging from early printed books from throughout the Muslim world, manuscripts whose origins stretch from Oman and Southern Arabia to the East African coast itself as well as other ephemera. Only the Among the most important items in this collection are 61 Arabic manuscripts dating from 1860 to 1910. These are both Ibadi and Sunni Shafi'i, this not reflective of any particular Islamic school or orientation, but some are locally authored, others are locally produced copies of standard works, while others are imported from Oman in the late 19th century. The collection now resides in the library of the Wakfu Wangazija in Stone Town, Zanzibar. TIFF files High-quality TIFF images are available for researchers upon request.

The owner of the collection was the late Maalim Muhammad Idris Muhammed Saleh (1934-2012) in Zanzibar. The various series shelfmarks are indicative of where an item was digitized or under whose auspices. Records bearing the shelfmark MPRINT-CSMC-MIC were imaged at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. Those designated MPRINT-UIB-MIC were imaged by team members at the University of Bergen. Finally, those with MPRINT-EAP1114 (the largest series) were imaged in Zanzibar between 2018-2019 under the auspices of the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library supported by the Arcadia Fund. Several academic books, theses and articles have been authored on the basis of Maalim Idris's collection. However, Maalim himself emphasized his collection as a gateway to a Zanzibari religious heritage that in his opinion had been lost. His main concern was that this be made accessible to "the young people" as an intellectual – as well as physical – link to their past. Maalim Idris obtained his collection through inheritance, and through various sources, with a particular influx from the Comorian community of Zanzibar – of which he was a member. The previous lives of the printed books are evident in the many ownership- and waqfiyya notes. The collection is an eclectic assembly of materials ranging from early printed books from throughout the Muslim world, manuscripts whose origins stretch from Oman and Southern Arabia to the East African coast itself as well as other ephemera. Only the Among the most important items in this collection are 61 Arabic manuscripts dating from 1860 to 1910. These are both Ibadi and Sunni Shafi'i, this not reflective of any particular Islamic school or orientation, but some are locally authored, others are locally produced copies of standard works, while others are imported from Oman in the late 19th century. The collection now resides in the library of the Wakfu Wangazija in Stone Town, Zanzibar. TIFF files High-quality TIFF images are available for researchers upon request.

The owner of the collection was the late Maalim Muhammad Idris Muhammed Saleh (1934-2012) in Zanzibar. The various series shelfmarks are indicative of where an item was digitized or under whose auspices. Records bearing the shelfmark MPRINT-CSMC-MIC were imaged at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. Those designated MPRINT-UIB-MIC were imaged by team members at the University of Bergen. Finally, those with MPRINT-EAP1114 (the largest series) were imaged in Zanzibar between 2018-2019 under the auspices of the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library supported by the Arcadia Fund. Several academic books, theses and articles have been authored on the basis of Maalim Idris's collection. However, Maalim himself emphasized his collection as a gateway to a Zanzibari religious heritage that in his opinion had been lost. His main concern was that this be made accessible to "the young people" as an intellectual – as well as physical – link to their past. Maalim Idris obtained his collection through inheritance, and through various sources, with a particular influx from the Comorian community of Zanzibar – of which he was a member. The previous lives of the printed books are evident in the many ownership- and waqfiyya notes. The collection is an eclectic assembly of materials ranging from early printed books from throughout the Muslim world, manuscripts whose origins stretch from Oman and Southern Arabia to the East African coast itself as well as other ephemera. Only the Among the most important items in this collection are 61 Arabic manuscripts dating from 1860 to 1910. These are both Ibadi and Sunni Shafi'i, this not reflective of any particular Islamic school or orientation, but some are locally authored, others are locally produced copies of standard works, while others are imported from Oman in the late 19th century. The collection now resides in the library of the Wakfu Wangazija in Stone Town, Zanzibar. TIFF files High-quality TIFF images are available for researchers upon request.

The owner of the collection was the late Maalim Muhammad Idris Muhammed Saleh (1934-2012) in Zanzibar. The various series shelfmarks are indicative of where an item was digitized or under whose auspices. Records bearing the shelfmark MPRINT-CSMC-MIC were imaged at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. Those designated MPRINT-UIB-MIC were imaged by team members at the University of Bergen. Finally, those with MPRINT-EAP1114 (the largest series) were imaged in Zanzibar between 2018-2019 under the auspices of the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library supported by the Arcadia Fund. Several academic books, theses and articles have been authored on the basis of Maalim Idris's collection. However, Maalim himself emphasized his collection as a gateway to a Zanzibari religious heritage that in his opinion had been lost. His main concern was that this be made accessible to "the young people" as an intellectual – as well as physical – link to their past. Maalim Idris obtained his collection through inheritance, and through various sources, with a particular influx from the Comorian community of Zanzibar – of which he was a member. The previous lives of the printed books are evident in the many ownership- and waqfiyya notes. The collection is an eclectic assembly of materials ranging from early printed books from throughout the Muslim world, manuscripts whose origins stretch from Oman and Southern Arabia to the East African coast itself as well as other ephemera. Only the Among the most important items in this collection are 61 Arabic manuscripts dating from 1860 to 1910. These are both Ibadi and Sunni Shafi'i, this not reflective of any particular Islamic school or orientation, but some are locally authored, others are locally produced copies of standard works, while others are imported from Oman in the late 19th century. The collection now resides in the library of the Wakfu Wangazija in Stone Town, Zanzibar. TIFF files High-quality TIFF images are available for researchers upon request.

Located in the Madrasat Hassania Mtegani Makunduchi in Makunduchi, Zanzibar, the library was established by his students after his death. Hasan bin Ameir was one of the most prominent scholars, teachers, and Muslim writers of his era as well as a Qādiriyya shaykh and activist. These traits are reflected in the variety of books in his library. The collection includes 192 Arabic-Islamic books from various printing houses around the world. Almost all contain ownership notes written in Ḥasan bin Ameir's own hand on the inside cover, explaining how and when he acquired each. In terms of genre, most of the books focus on fiqh. Several other series of images were created by ZIAR. These include MPRINT-ZIAR-FIC, MPRINT-ZIAR-Kajwenga; MPRINT-ZIAR-Kibuteni; MPRINT-ZIAR-Ndijani; MPRINT-ZIAR-Pemba; MPRINT-ZIAR-Stonetown; and MPRINT-ZIAR-UNGUJA UKUU KAEPWANI.

These objects were digitized in October and November 2023. The series also includes the Riyadha manuscript collection which was digitized in 2011 as part of the Endangered Archive Programme (EAP466) of the British Library funded by the Arcadia Fund. These objects bear the shelfmark MPRINT-RIYADHA-EAP466. The selection of what to digitize in this group was made according to age (prioritizing early prints) and relevance (such as lithographs.) Several prints on this list belong to individual custodians in Lamu town, and these were named after their owners (i.e. Khadija Muhammad Salim and Fatma Ba Hsan). The early print group features a range of texts printed in Arabic between 1854 and 1977 across various printing centres in the Muslim world. The various stamps, handwritten notes, and annotations, mainly from the cover page, reflect the journey these texts have taken over the years from production centers to users.

Among the editors were, Ahmad b. Sumayt, Burhan b. Abdul Aziz al-Amawy, Tahir b. Abi Bakr al-Amawy and, Ali b. Muhammad al0Munthari.Collection description The Maalim Idris Collection is a privately curated collection, accumulated over time, primarily as an exercise in heritage preservation. The owner of the collection was the late Maalim Muhammad Idris Muhammed Saleh (1934-2012) in Zanzibar. The various series shelfmarks are indicative of where an item was digitized or under whose auspices. Records bearing the shelfmark MPRINT-CSMC-MIC were imaged at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. Those designated MPRINT-UIB-MIC were imaged by team members at the University of Bergen. Finally, those with MPRINT-EAP1114 (the largest series) were imaged in Zanzibar between 2018-2019 under the auspices of the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library supported by the Arcadia Fund. Several academic books, theses and articles have been authored on the basis of Maalim Idris's collection. However, Maalim himself emphasized his collection as a gateway to a Zanzibari religious heritage that in his opinion had been lost. His main concern was that this be made accessible to "the young people" as an intellectual – as well as physical – link to their past. Maalim Idris obtained his collection through inheritance, and through various sources, with a particular influx from the Comorian community of Zanzibar – of which he was a member. The previous lives of the printed books are evident in the many ownership- and waqfiyya notes. The collection is an eclectic assembly of materials ranging from early printed books from throughout the Muslim world, manuscripts whose origins stretch from Oman and Southern Arabia to the East African coast itself as well as other ephemera. Only the Among the most important items in this collection are 61 Arabic manuscripts dating from 1860 to 1910. These are both Ibadi and Sunni Shafi'i, this not reflective of any particular Islamic school or orientation, but some are locally authored, others are locally produced copies of standard works, while others are imported from Oman in the late 19th century. The collection now resides in the library of the Wakfu Wangazija in Stone Town, Zanzibar. TIFF files High-quality TIFF images are available for researchers upon request.

Hasan bin Ameir was one of the most prominent scholars, teachers, and Muslim writers of his era as well as a Qādiriyya shaykh and activist. These traits are reflected in the variety of books in his library. The collection includes 192 Arabic-Islamic books from various printing houses around the world. Almost all contain ownership notes written in Ḥasan bin Ameir's own hand on the inside cover, explaining how and when he acquired each. In terms of genre, most of the books focus on fiqh.

The owner of the collection was the late Maalim Muhammad Idris Muhammed Saleh (1934-2012) in Zanzibar. The various series shelfmarks are indicative of where an item was digitized or under whose auspices. Records bearing the shelfmark MPRINT-CSMC-MIC were imaged at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. Those designated MPRINT-UIB-MIC were imaged by team members at the University of Bergen. Finally, those with MPRINT-EAP1114 (the largest series) were imaged in Zanzibar between 2018-2019 under the auspices of the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library supported by the Arcadia Fund. Several academic books, theses and articles have been authored on the basis of Maalim Idris's collection. However, Maalim himself emphasized his collection as a gateway to a Zanzibari religious heritage that in his opinion had been lost. His main concern was that this be made accessible to "the young people" as an intellectual – as well as physical – link to their past. Maalim Idris obtained his collection through inheritance, and through various sources, with a particular influx from the Comorian community of Zanzibar – of which he was a member. The previous lives of the printed books are evident in the many ownership- and waqfiyya notes. The collection is an eclectic assembly of materials ranging from early printed books from throughout the Muslim world, manuscripts whose origins stretch from Oman and Southern Arabia to the East African coast itself as well as other ephemera. Only the Among the most important items in this collection are 61 Arabic manuscripts dating from 1860 to 1910. These are both Ibadi and Sunni Shafi'i, this not reflective of any particular Islamic school or orientation, but some are locally authored, others are locally produced copies of standard works, while others are imported from Oman in the late 19th century. The collection now resides in the library of the Wakfu Wangazija in Stone Town, Zanzibar. TIFF files High-quality TIFF images are available for researchers upon request.
