The Sudan of the Three Niles

"This work is an annotated translation of the Funj Chronicle, the only full-length Arabic account of the Nilotic Sudan from 910/1504-5 to 1288/1871, produced by a succession of nineteenth-century Sudanese writers." "The earlier part is based on a king-list of the Funj dynasty of Sinnar. From the mid-twelfth/eighteenth century an increasingly detailed narrative describes the rule of the Hamaj regents, the conquest by Muhammad 'Ali Pasha's forces and the first half-century of Turco-Egyptian government. The translator's Introduction discusses the textual history, structure and authorship of the Chronicle, while four Appendixes provide supplementary materials."--BOOK JACKET.
