Abstract
This 62-page manuscript is titled, Maqṣūrah Ibn Durayd, (A Summary of Ibn Durayd), and is an Islamic jurisprudence book based on the Mālikī school of thought. This work addresses an array of themes, including social relations, brotherhood, neighborhood, and how best to cope with the realities of the contemporary world. Fully written in Yoruba Anjemi, the author follows the original version of the book, which was in Arabic text – by retaining the various themes as they were in Arabic and then the translation in Yoruba Anjemi follows. The author uses the standard Mashriqi style of writing, with Roman numerals at the top center of each page, and footnotes on most of the pages. Unlike many Yoruba Anjemi translated works, the author, begins with introduction in Yoruba Anjemi instead of Arabic.
