Arabic as a written language was used across the Islamic world. Muslim communities in pre-modern Africa were no exception to this. Yet, the study of Arabic scripts and book production in Africa has long been neglected despite centuries of innovative practices and artistry. Join Amel Bensalim, graduate student in Princeton's History department, to learn more about the use of Arabic in African manuscripts. This workshop-style presentation will walk you through the artistic and material culture of African manuscripts and their cultural contexts, allowing you to experience handling and engaging with Arabic manuscripts from Africa in Princeton's Special Collections. We ask that you wear a mask to this in-person only event. For those without masks, we will have them available. Thank you for your understanding. This event is organized by the Muslim Life Program at Princeton University and Princeton University Library and Special Collections.
