Dr. Shamil Jeppie, University of Cape Town. The northern Malian town of Timbuktu was occupied by rebels in the middle of 2012, and the rebels were driven out early 2013. During this period thousands of the town’s inhabitants fled; and we learned recently that at some point it was decided to move thousands of its manuscripts as well.  This seminar has been organized together with the Institute for History (Leiden University). It is part of the seminar series Collecting and Communication. Please register by e-mail to ctd@hum.leidenuniv.nl before 31st August.
