Text of Note

This dissertation explores the history and historiography behind a corpus of Arabic prosopographical works composed from the mid-11 ^th to early 16^th centuries in Northern Africa by the Ibādīs, a Muslim minority community whose adherents have inhabited the villages and towns of the Maghrib since the 8th century. It traces the history of this corpus over the longue durée , following these texts over nearly a millennium from their compilation beginning in the 11^th century through the early modern period and into the 20^th century. The dissertation argues that the production, transmission and movement of this corpus of manuscript books and the Ibādī scholars who composed, compiled, bought, sold, and read them helped construct and maintain the Maghribi Ibādī tradition and its history by marking its boundaries and forming 'written' and material networks connecting multiple generations of religious scholars across time and space.
