The Ibadi Muslims, a little-known minority community, have lived in
North Africa for over a thousand years. Combining an analysis of
Arabic manuscripts with digital tools used in network analysis,
Paul M. Love, Jr takes readers on a journey across the Maghrib and
beyond as he traces the paths of a group of manuscripts and the
Ibadi scholars who used them. Ibadi scholars of the Middle Period
(eleventh-sixteenth century) wrote a series of collective
biographies (prosopographies), which together constructed a
cumulative tradition that connected Ibadi Muslims from across time
and space, bringing them together into a 'written network'. From
the Mzab valley in Algeria to the island of Jerba in Tunisia, from
the Jebel Nafusa in Libya to the bustling metropolis of
early-modern Cairo, this book shows how people and books worked in
tandem to construct and maintain an Ibadi Muslim tradition in the
Maghrib.
