Hamed bin Mohammed, who is better known as Tippu Tip, was a Zanzibar merchant and one of the most influential figures in East and Central Africa in the second half of the 19th century. Corpus of sources are represented by memories and travelogues of the European explorers, colonial officials and missionaries, who personally knew Tippu Tip. The article examines the main features of his image and its evolution from “the most remarkable man among Arabs, Swahili, and Half-Castes” to “a renowned slave trader”, who embodies all evil of the Arab slave trade. The particular attention is paid to the conflict between Tippu Tip and Henry M. Stanley during the infamous Emin Pasha Relief Expedition; it is also considered evidences of Tippu Tip’s participation in raids on the local population of Central Africa in order to capture slaves and ivory.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Главной целью является систематизация и представление имеющихся в письменных источниках упоминаний и описаний, касающихся личности и деятельности занзибарского дельца, одной из самых влиятельных фигур Восточной и Центральной Африки середины - второй половины XIX в. Хамеда бин Мохаммеда аль-Мурджеби, более известного как Типпу-Тип. Корпус источников составляют мемуары и путевые заметки европейских путешественников, колониальных деятелей и миссионеров, лично знавших и встречавшихся с Типпу-Типом. Рассматриваются основные черты образа Типпу-Типа, его эволюция от «самого замечательного человека среди арабов, суахили и полукровок» до «главного работорговца», олицетворения всего зла арабской работорговли, под флагом борьбы с которой происходил раздел Африки колониальными державами. Особое внимание уделяется конфликту Типпу-Типа с Г.М. Стэнли в ходе печально известной экспедиции по спасению Эмина-паши; также рассматриваются свидетельства участия Типпу-Типа и подчиненных ему людей в набегах на местное население Центральной Африки с целью захвата рабов и слоновой кости.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Tippu Tip</kwd><kwd>Henry M.
