Timbuktu Chronicles
Timbuktu Chronicles is the collective name for a group of writings created in Timbuktu in the second half of the 17th century. They form a distinct genre of taʾrīkh. There are three surviving works and a probable lost one.
- Tarikh al-Sudan, "History of the Sudan", written by al-Saʿdi
- Tarikh al-fattash, "The Researcher's Chronicle", also called the Tarikh Ibn al-Mukhtar
- Notice historique, an anonymous untitled text conventionally known by the title of the French translation
- Durar al-hisan fi akhbar baʿd muluk al-Sudan, "Pearls of Beauties Concerning What is Related About Some Kings of the Sudan", by Baba Goro, a lost work that probably belonged to the Timbuktu taʾrīkh genre.
