  • The Ottoman period in Algeria was from 1515-1830. These three letters are from the private library of Muḥ. al-Ḥājj Saʿīd b. Ayyūb in Ghardaïa, Mīzāb. The first letter (Dhū ‘l-Qaʿda 1206/1792) contains a complaint from the Mīzābīs to the Dāy Bābā Ḥasan (1791-1798) about the intention of Ṣāliḥ Bāy, Bāy of Constantine (1771-1792), to subdue the Mīzābīs and their families, to lead their women and children into captivity, and subsequently to exterminate them, probably for no other reason then their belonging to the Ibāḍī Madhhab. The second letter (Muḥarram 1207/Aug. 1792) is a letter of thanks for the Dāy’s help. The third one (end of Ṣafar 1207/1792), to al-Ḥājj ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-Laṭīf, Siḥr of the Dāy and their mediator with the Dāy, “expresses the acknowledgment of what is beautiful by its writers”; it contains the aforementioned complaint and the Mīzābīs’ gratitude.
