The Tarikh Al-fattash Is A Chronicle Written In Arabic In The Second Half Of The 17th Century. It Provides An Account Of The Songhay Empire From The Reign Of Sonni Ali (ruled 1464-1492) Up To 1599 With A Few References To Events In The Following Century. The Chronicle Also Mentions The Earlier Mali Empire. Octave Houdas And Maurice Delafosse Published A Critical Edition In 1913 [with The Arabic Title Of: Taʼrīkh Al-fattāsh Fī Akhbār Al-buldān Wa-al-juyūsh Wa-akābir Al-nās]. It Has Been Argued That This Edition Conflates The Text From An Early Incomplete Manuscript With That Of A Re-written Forgery Produced Early In The 19th Century. The Tarikh Was Originally Believed To Have Been Written By Mahmud Kati But This Has Been Questioned And Ibn Al-mukhtar, A Grandson Of Mahmud Kati, Has Been Suggested As A More Likely Author–wikipedia.
