Notes: "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.
