The materials copied include (1) a eulogy dedicated to Cheikh Massamba Mbacke, the youngest brother of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba who is said to have vocalized most of the writings of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, (2) a eulogy dedicated to Cheikh Massamba Mbacke's first son Serigne Modou Faty Khary Mbacke, and (3) tributes to the key members of the family (both men and women). Cheikh Massamba Mbacke is referred to in the manuscript as "The Doctor" because of his healing powers and his work in spreading Muridiyya. The materials also underscore the achievements of Cheikh Modou Faty Khary Mbacke, who followed his father's step after his death in building schools and expanding Muridiyya in Africa, especially in Gabon, Brazzaville, and Mauritania) and in Europe, particularly in Belgium and France. The manuscript also celebrates the lives of some women (Sokhna Anta Dia, Sokhna Maguette Mbacke, Sokhna Nogoye Kane, and Sokhna Sokhna Diop, among others) who embodied the values of ideal Murid mothers, wives, and educators.
