Driving there, sometimes late at night, with no gas stations at all and no stores for hours, always fearing running out of water or diesel, was unforgettable. I couldn't stop wondering how people once transported thousands of manuscripts to the library in Tamgrūt. It still amazes me.

My article on the library of the Sufi brotherhood al-Nāṣiriyya in Tamgrūt, a small village in the far south of Morocco, has finally been published. Founded in the 17th century, with more than 4,700 manuscripts still in place, it is a fascinating institution. Take a look! dx.doi.org/10.1163/1878...

Thinking of the mentor who made me a historian. True, I wanted to be an academic historian since I was 12, but someone taught me what that means at 19. That someone is Chester Dunning. Prof of early modern Russian history at Texas A&M. I’ll never stop being grateful to him. Who’s your inspiration?

So this is really cool: a stamp impression from the library of the Ilkhanid vizier Rashid al-Din (d. 1318). It reads “pious endowment [waqf] of the Rashidiyya library,” & it may have been inspired by Chinese prints/stamps. Stamped waqf notices are totally unheard of for this time!

Ermita de San Sebastián. Originally built as a rabita (probably the tomb of a marabout) in 1218 by Ishaq b. Yusuf, Almohad governor of the city. It is said that it was here that Boabdil, the last sultan of Granada, handed over the keys of the city to the Catholic Monarchs #Al-Andalus ##medievalsky

Has anyone heard of silk production in Fez? I thought that the ṣināʿat al-ḥarīr in which some of the Qādirī Ashrāf in Fez seem to have been engaged might actually mean ḥadīd. But I have now found that some ashrāf in Ottoman Damascus were involved in silk weaving. So it could be?

In the city of Karlsruhe it seems like AfD members put these "deportation tickets" in the mailboxes of people with migration background. Among other things we read "only remigration can save Germany". The ominous date on the ticket corresponds to the election day, February 23d 2025.

I have now read the first 150 pages of this book. And I can say that I have never enjoyed reading a book more. It is fun to read, encompasses so much stuff I did not know about, and it addresses a lot of questions and thoughts I have had over the last few years. Wonderful!
