GENEVE- AFRIQUE GENEVA - AFRICA La revue de I'Institut Africain de Geneve The Journal of the Geneva-Africa Institute
L'Afrique a longtemps procure a I'esprit europ6en un exotisme et des aventures dont il se sentait priv6. Mais ce temps n'est plus. Aujourd'hui elle cherche sa voie a travers des difficult6s et des incertitudes auxquelles ne sauraient rester insensibles ceux qui sont ouverts a son besoin d'une rencontre a 6galit6.
Le souhait de cette revue, c'est a cet 6gard d'engager un dialogue sans a priori et de placer des jalons sur le chemin d'une meilleure compr6hension des problemes que soul6ve actuellement I'6volution du monde noir.
Africa in time past lent the European imagination that touch of exotic adventure which its own milieu did not always provide. That time is no more. Africa today seeks her own way through difficulties and uncertainties to which no one open to her desire to meet on terms of equality can remain indifferent.
It is the wish of this journal to be an active partner in this uncondi- tional dialogue, and to contribute to a deeper comprehension of the problems and opportunities facing an emergent Africa.

The Fontes Historiae Africanae is a project adopted by the International Academic Union in 1964, having been originally sponsored by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. The first director of the project was the well-known Czech historian Professor Ivan Hrbek. By 1972 pressure of other committments forced him to give up the task and direction of the project was taken over the Professor John Hunwick of the University of Ghana on 3 January 1973.
As its title implies, the Fontes project is concerned with source materials for the history of Africa. The basic concept is the publication of written source materials in their original languages with full apparatus criticus with parallel translations into either English or French accompanied by scholarly annotations and introduction. In this way it is envisaged that material currently inaccessible or difficult of access would be made available to the scholarly world at large. In most cases this would involve the publication of materials as yet only known in manuscript form, though in some cases some of the more important published material which had been poorly edited or inadequately translated would be republished in accordance with the modern canons of critical scholarschip. Apart from texts and translations, works of a bibliographical nature dealing with the source materials would also be published.
In principal the Fontes project embraces the whole of Africa in the precolonial period. In practice, the availability of resources both human and financial necessitates some restriction of horizons, at least for the first few years of the project's lifetime. It has therefore been decided that initial concentration shall be upon the Arabic source materials and, most particularly, upon the Arabic materials emanating from or concerned with Africa south of the Sahara. This concentration of effort will not, however, have as its object the exclusion of other categories of material. Indeed, it is greatly to be hoped that scholars who are working on Arabic materials from the Maghreb, for example, will seed to have their work published within the scheme. Similarly, it is to be hoped that historical texts in African languages will also soon find a place in the scheme.
It is intended that the word 'history' shall have a generous interpretation in the context of the Fontes project. Thus it is not the intention to restrict material to narratives and chronicles of the conventional pattern. In relation to the Arabic material in particular, a great deal of historical information or material valuable for giving a more complete picture of life in various African societies, is to be found in works which are basically geographical, legal or religious in character. The project will not, however, concern itself with works which are purely literary in character or, though written in Africa, are of a theoretical nature without relevance to local circumstances. In addition to complete continuous texts the project would also wish to publish volumes of collected documents (letters, treaties, fatwas etc.) concerned with an area, period, or theme, and inscriptional material. The project will also be prepared to consider volumes consisting of extracts relating to Africa taken from larger works (encyclopaedias, worldhistories etc.) where these represent a genuine contribution to our knowledge of the African past.
As may be seen from the foregoing remarks, the parameters of this project are very wide. The adoption of this scheme by the International Academic Union, however, will ensure that the project attracts wide International interest and support and that the scattered labourers in this field are kept in touch and their work co-ordinated. The Union's support will also ensure a uniformly high standard of scholarship and adherence to a similar set of scholarly conventions throughout the work published. From the financial point of view, it is only with the support of a major international body such as the I.A.U. that so ambitious a project as the Fontes can hope to be viable. The I.A.U. has already voted the sum of ?1,500 towards publication subsidies for 1973-4. As a body recognised by the C.I.P.S.H. (Conseil international pour la philosophie et les sciences humaines) the Union is able to apply for subsidies towards the publication of scholarly works. A grant has
already been made by the C.I.P.S.H. towards publication of the first volume in the Fontes series and application has been made for further grants for 1975 and 1976.
Among the factors which often inhibit the smooth running of large scale international projects are over-planning and inflexibility. The Fontes project hopes to avoid these pitfalls and envisages the following modus operandi, at least in the early stages. The day to day running of the project will be in the sole hands of the director who will report back annually to the Fontes Commission of the I.A.U. The director will, however, consult and be advised by a large international committee representing, so far as possible, all the countries known to be interested in the work of the project. It will be the responsability of members of this committee to keep him informed of developments in their own countries and, in turn, the director will pass on such information to other members. This committe will, inevitably, operate largely by post; nevertheless, it is to be hoped that funds might be obtained to assist members to attend meetings, if only at rather infrequent intervals. There will also be a much smaller editorial committee, presided over by the director as general editor of the Fontes series. This committee, which will lay down editorial policy and evaluate work submitted for publication in the series, ought to be able to meet at least once a year.
It is envisaged that in many cases works to be considered for the Fontes series will be initially sponsored by national academies or bodies of similar standing. Sponsoring countries may well wish for volumes to be published in their own countries where proper facilities exist. This will not affect the chances of a publication subsidy being granted if the committee considers the work suitable for inclusion in the series and is satisfied of the need for a subsidy. On the other hand individual scholars may submit their work directly to the Fontes editorial committee if circumstances dictate this more direct approach and the committee will be pleased to seek avenues for publication for the scholar concerned if the work is considered suitable for the series.
It would, no doubt, be better to embark upon so ambitious a project as the Fontes by a thorough review of the present state of the field and by eleborating a system of priorities and assigning tasks. This option is not, however, open to us at the moment. The most urgent need is to make a start in the publication of the source materials themselves in text and translation and it is therefore proposed to proceed for the present in an ad hoc fashion by initiating the series with suitable texts which are brought to the attention of the director and subsequently the editorial committee. It is also planned to prepare, in collaboration with a number of scholars, a critical bibliography of Arabic sources for African history already translated into any of the major European languages. Two texts with translations have already been accepted for publication and it is hoped that they will appear during the course of 1974. They are:
Uthman dan Fodio, Bayan wujub al-hijra, edited and translated by Dr. F. H. Elmasri.
Funj Land Charters, translated and annotated by Dr. J. Spaul ding and M. I. Abu Salim.
Several other volumes are under consideration and it is expected that about two volumes would appear every year for the foreseeable future. Further information about the above two volumes and others due to appear in the Fontes series will be given in due course.
On the other hand the director of the Fontes Historice Africanae project would be pleased to hear from institutions and individual scholars of work they have in progress relevant to the central aims of the Fontes project or to wider problems of Arabic source material for African history. Such information and any inquiries about the Fontes project should be addressed to him at
