That's the al-fattash chronicle
both tarikhs (along with major West African chronicles like Ibn furtu's) have been fully translated -by R.Palmer in the 1900s and recently by Hunwick in "timbuktu and the songhay" (for al-sudan) and Nobili in "sultan, caliph..." (for al-fattash) https://twitter.com/SGOKIdehistorie/status/1293589665493155845

I was referring to the non-historical works of African literature; specifically on the sciences
African literature dealing with History, Poetry, theology, has been relatively better studied and translated

And Mauro Nobili released this book on the translation and interpretation of the al-fattash just this year (after I made this thread so I couldn't link it then)
