which fall mainly between nos. 249 and 292. This includes many
short pamphlets, along with a few compositions by Nigerian scholars
(nos. 307 and 308 for example) in praise of al-Shaikh Ibrahim.
Finally, we might mention that the Qadiriyya is represented
by a substantial number of works, though far fewer than the
Tijaniyya tracts. Al-Mukhtar al-Kunti is represented by only
one composition (no. 89), but the collection includes a series
of works (esp. nos. 385-90) by Muhammad al-Nasir b. Muhammad alMukhtar al-Kabari al-Tunbukti al-Kanowi, including al-Nafahat
alNasiriyya
(no. 389) which became a subject of refutation by Abu
Bakr cAtiq al-Kashnawi in his Bisala
(no. 361) in defence of the
Tijaniyya.
A card-mounted handlist of the entire collection has been
deposited at the Herskovits Africana Library; it includes a
numerically arranged listing, as well as a separate alphabetical
listing which includes cross-references.
