Abstract
This thesis sheds light on Halaba society and culture, especially as reflected in
the contribution of its scholars and SaYb 'IbrahIm 'Affii$o in particular. The
main aim is to emphasize their role in maintaining, improving and teaching the
society.
The thesis has seven chapters. The first chapter contains an introduction which
lays out the structure of the study. The second chapter deals with the related
literature written by non-Halaba scholars. The third chapter presents an outline
of the Halaba ethnic group socially, culturally and linguistically. The fourth
chapter shows the technical way of preparing and writing mss. in Halaba. The
fifth chapter discusses the scholarly literature written by the Halabas. The sixth
chapter, after presenting a brief biography SaYb 'IbrahIm' Affii$o, analyzes his
mss. and particularly the genealogy manuscript, comparing it with other
genealogical mss. The last chapter includes the conclusion, recommendations, a
list of informants and the bibliography.
