Berber texts in Arabic script February 10 2010 0 comments

Jabal al-Lughat’s Lameen Souag has just posted on Manuscrits arabes et berbères du Fonds Roux.

From Jabal al-Lughat:

It includes a copy of al-Hilali’s Berber-Arabic lexicon. The Lmuhub Ulaḥbib library of Bejaia has also put a number of works online, including an 18th/19th century manuscript on theology in Kabyle: العقيدة السنوسية. Both collections are also of interest for their many Arabic books, but the Berber ones are particularly significant due to the serious paucity of materials for the study of precolonial Berber writing traditions.

I’ve been drifting away from China in my posts of late, but fear not; it’s a temporary thing.
