From Djerba to Warjalān: Manuscript Letters in Private Ibadi Libraries and Their Importance for the Study of Communication among the Maghribi Ibadi Communities - Neji, Mohamed (Journal of Islamic Manuscripts, 2021)
This article focuses on letters in private Ibadi libraries and their importance for understanding the primary means of communication among Ibadi communities in the premodern Maghrib. Using the example of a letter from the 7th/13th-century Ibadi Shaykh Abū ʿAbdallāh al-Ṣidghiyānī from the island of Djerba (Tunisia) to the Ibadis of Warjalān (Algeria), it seeks to highlight the importance of the archive of unedited Ibadi manuscript letters. This corpus of correspondences has not received the care and maintenance it merits because these letters do not belong to a recognized volume or book and are today located in private libraries unavailable to the public. The article also uses the example of al-Ṣidghiyānī’s letter to emphasize the importance of the manuscript letters and their role in maintaining intellectual ties among the Ibadi cities of the Maghrib. This brief article consists of two parts. The first part offers a general presentation of the archive where the letter is today held: the El Barounia Library in Djerba, Tunisia. The second part presents the manuscript and its author in their historical context.

La production des actes de waqf ibadites et autres en Tunisie à l’époque moderne - Merimi, Mohamed (Journal of Islamic Manuscripts, 2021)
L’ article vise à passer en revue et à comprendre la culture ibadite de la population de Djerba dans le domaine de la production des actes de waqf à l’ époque moderne. À l’ origine, les résidents de Djerba utilisaient des contrats de waqf oraux et coutumiers conclus au nom de la « congrégation des fidèles de la mosquée » et sous le titre du waqf général. Leurs contrats de waqf ont évolué dans de nombreuses et différentes directions. La majorité de ces contrats sont devenus écrits en raison de l’ influence du voisinage malékite dont la présence sur l’ île remonte à l’ époque hafside. Certains de ces contrats sont cependant restés coutumiers, et ils sont devenus des waqfs publics associés aux zaouïas, comme ce fut le cas avec les malékites. D’ autres ont été transférés de la coutume et de l’ oral à des documents écrits à caractère officiel agréé par le pouvoir judiciaire malékite. Les ibadites ont eu recours à produire des actes de waqf conformes aux valeurs de la science du témoin et à la jurisprudence malékite. La diaspora ibadite djerbienne, dont la relation sociale est régie par ses institutions du pouvoir local (niẓām al-ʿazzāba), a produit des actes qui respectent les valeurs de l’ école de jurisprudence malékite.

Ibadi Manuscripts in a European Collection: The Kitāb al-Barbariyya and the Private Papers of Auguste Bossoutrot (1856–1937) - Brugnatelli, Vermondo (Journal of Islamic Manuscripts, 2021)
Within the framework of studies concerning the importance of European manuscript collections for Ibadi history, this article aims at retracing the history of an archive put together by the French scholar Auguste Bossoutrot (1856–1937). This archive gathered a quantity of materials on the Arabic and Berber languages collected during his life. In particular, some of the manuscripts contain parts of a long religious work in Berber (Kitāb al-Barbariyya), discovered in the island of Djerba (Tunisia) among the Ibadi community of the island towards the end of the nineteenth century. This text was firstly discovered and reported to the scientific community by another French scholar, A. De Calassanti-Motylinski (1854–1907), but his untimely death prevented him from publishing it and the whereabouts of the manuscripts that contained it remained unknown until the discovery of Bossoutrot’s papers, which contained the longest extant copy of the work (about 900 pages).

Authority Beyond State and Tribe in the Early Medieval Maghrib: The Impact of Climate on the Economic, Social and Political Reorganisation of the Maghrib al-Aqṣā in the Eighth–Ninth Centuries: The Case of Sijilmāsa (Morocco) - Capel, Chloé (Al-Masāq, 2021)
The rise of Islam in the Maghrib al-Aqṣā in the eighth and ninth centuries and the simultaneous onset of deep and lasting political, economic, cultural and social upheavals across the region have led historians to focus on Islamisation as the principal cause of this revolution. This article will explore the possible contribution of environmental factors to economic change, and consequently to social and political development. This discussion relates to the field of historical climatology which has been limited in Africa, and especially in the western Maghrib. It focuses on a case study of the caravan city of Sijilmāsa (Morocco) and argues that an important climate oscillation between the eighth and ninth centuries may have been a decisive factor in its foundation. Finally, it suggests that this climate fluctuation may have been a driving factor in the urbanisation that the Maghrib al-Aqṣā experienced more widely in this period.

Foodways in Southern Oman - Risse, Marielle (Routledge, 2021)
Foodways in Southern Oman examines the objects, practices and beliefs relating to producing, obtaining, cooking, eating and disposing of food in the Dhofar region of southern Oman. The chapters consider food preparation, who makes what kind of food, and how and when meals are eaten. Marielle Risse connects what is consumed to themes such as land usage, gender, age, purity, privacy and generosity. She also discusses how foodways are related to issues of morality, safety, religion and tourism. The volume is a result of 14 years of collecting data and insights in Dhofar, covering topics such as catching fish, herding camels, growing fruits, designing kitchens, cooking meals and setting leftovers out for animals. It will be of interest to scholars from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, food studies, Middle Eastern studies and Islamic studies.

Minorités religieuses et dynamiques identitaires en Tunisie: Ibadites et Juifs à l'épreuve du tourisme et de la révolution - Boussetta, Mourad (Université de Laval, 2020)
Dans cette recherche, j’étudie les dynamiques identitaires des minorités ibadite/berbère et juive de l’île de Djerba (Tunisie) à travers le prisme du tourisme et de la révolution. Je démontre que l’agencéité de ces deux minorités ethnico- religieuses se base sur la force mobilisatrice de leur patrimoine immatériel. Je déconstruis le double discours colonial et national les dotant d’un statut historique et juridique subalterne en me basant sur l’apport critique des études postcoloniales et sur une ethnographie multi-située. J’inscris ce faisant cette agencéité dans une dynamique de relations de pouvoir. J’analyse les adaptations, les négociations et les résistances des acteurs ibadites/berbères et juifs sous le régime colonial puis sous l’État-nation pour aboutir à une meilleure connaissance de leurs stratégies dans l’hyperprésent, soit la révolution de 2011. J’explique qu’en contribuant activement au jumelage de leur patrimoine immatériel à l’industrie touristique et qu’en s’engageant dans la mouvance politique postrévolutionnaire, ces acteurs se réapproprient une citoyenneté entière en Tunisie. Cet examen critique met en évidence les stratégies adoptées par les acteurs des minorités étudiées pour se repositionner par rapport aux structures, non pas dans le sens d’une rupture, mais plutôt dans celui de s’insérer dans les relations de pouvoir avec un statut avantageux.

نظام الحكم في عمان: بين فقه المذهب الإباضي والممارسة السياسية (القرون 2-4 هـ/ 8-10م) - الحوسني, تهاني بنت عبد الله (مركز دراسات الوحدة العربية, 2020)
صدر عن مركز دراسات الوحدة العربية كتاب نظام الحكم في عُمان: بين فقه المذهب الإباضي والممارسة السياسية (القرون 2-4 ه/ 8-10 م)، للكاتبة تهاني بنت عبد الله الحوسني. مثّلت الأحداث السياسية التي شهدتها الدولة الإسلامية في القرن الأول للهجرة، نقطة تحوّل لظهور قوى معارضة للسلطة الحاكمة، إذ تحوّلت بمواقفها ومنطلقاتها السياسية إلى تيارات سياسية وعقائدية، تشكّلت وتبلورت من خلال الممارسات السياسية التي اتبعتها الدولة الأموية ضدها، ووفق تفاعلها مع الواقع السياسي المحيط بها. الإباضية هي إحدى الفرق التي انبثقت من الخوارج المُحكِّمة وانتهجت نهجاً اختلفت فيه عن الفرق الأخرى المعارضة للسلطة، وتقاطعت معها في جوانب أخرى؛ إذ تشكّلت خلال المرحلة التأسيسية ملامح مبادئها وشعاراتها السياسية، ثم تبلورت من خلال الممارسة السياسية الأطر الدينية والسياسية لفكرها، وفق المحيط الجغرافي والظروف التي خرجت منها، من البصرة إلى اليمن وعُمان وشمال أفريقيا. وقد مثّل الفكر الإباضي منعطفاً للتجربة السياسية التي خاضها العُمانيون، ولا سيّما بعد أن اتّضحت ملامحه، وطُبقت أفكاره عملياً في نهاية النصف الأول من القرن الثاني للهجرة بإعلان ولادة الإمامة الأولى في عُمان. يسعى هذا الكتاب للكشف عن الظروف والأوضاع التي ساهمت في تحوّل الإباضية من مجرد موقف سياسي تجاه الأحداث التي عصفت بالأمة الإسلامية في القرن الأول للهجرة إلى تيار سياسي له نظريته السياسية في الحكم، وهو نجح في تطبيقها في بقاع مُختلفة من العالم الإسلامي؛ وهي نظرية نشأت من منطلقات سياسية معارضة لممارسات الدولة الأموية، ثم تكوّنت وتبلورت نتيجة علاقات وظروف معقدة في محيطها الجغرافي والاجتماعي والسياسي الذي تفاعل مع ثوابتها، وأثّر في ممارستها واتجاهاتها ومتغيرات قواها. يتضمن الكتاب ثلاثة فصول فضلاً عن المقدمة والخاتمة والمراجع والفهرس.

A phylogenetic analysis of revolution and afterlife beliefs - Basava, Kiran; Zhang, Hanzhi; Mace, Ruth (Nature Human Behaviour, 2021)
Beliefs about the fate of humanity and the soul after death may structure behaviours of religious groups. Here we test theories from religious studies: that belief in an imminent apocalypse co-evolved with and facilitated revolutionary violence, whereas belief in reincarnation caused people to acquiesce to existing social orders and withdraw from political activism. We test these hypotheses by building a cultural phylogeny of historical Islamic sects and schools from the seventh to twentieth centuries and use phylogenetic comparative methods to show that these two types of belief display distinct relationships with intergroup violence. There is substantial evidence that apocalyptic beliefs co-evolved with revolutionary violence, whereas reincarnation beliefs were evolutionarily stable in peaceful groups. In both cases, violence precedes the emergence of beliefs, which suggests that conditions that generate revolutionary violence changed beliefs rather than beliefs generating violence. We also found that apocalyptic beliefs are associated with accelerated group extinction, although causal relationships cannot be determined.

فرقة الإباضیة ومنهجهم فی التفسیر دراسة وصفیة لبعض تفاسیرهم - العنزی, مها محمد رومی (مجلة الزهراء, 2020)
هذا البحث يتناول فرقة الإباضية ومنهجهم في تفسير القرآن، وذلك من خلال عرض ما يتعلق بتاريخ فرقة الإباضية وأفكارها العقائدية، ووصف منهجها في الاستدلال، وأبان البحث عن التشابه العقدي الكبير بين الإباضية والخوارج والمعتزلة، على الرغم من أن الإباضية لا يعدون من غلاة فرق الخوارج. ثم عرض البحث لاثنين من أبرز تفاسير الإباضية، أحدهما متقدم هو تفسير (هود بن محكم الهواري)، وهو من أئمة الإباضية المتقدمين، وكان تفسيره اختصارا لتفسير ابن سلام، وقد انتصر فيه لآراء الإباضية، مع عنايته بالآثار فيما سوى ذلك، وحاول تأويل آي القرآن لتناسب معتقد الإباضية. والآخر تفسير متأخر وهو تفسير محمد يوسف اطفيس في كتابه (تيسير التفسير)، وبين عنايته بالتفسير اللغوي، وعرض علوم الآية وعلوم السورة، واتخاذه منهج الانتصار للفكر الإباضي في التفسير من خلال تأويل الآيات العقدية لتتوافق مع معتقد الإباضي. وكان من أهم نتائج البحث: 1- الإباضية فرق إسلامية اشتهر أنها على نهج الخوارج، تنسب إلى عبد الله بن أباض، ولكنهم ليسوا من غلاة الخوارج كالأزارقة مثلا، لكنهم يتفقون مع الخوارج في مسائل عدة. 2- كان النتاج التفسيري للإباضية قليلا على مر العصور، ظهر أولا في تفسير هود بن محكم الذي اختصر تفسير يحيى بن سلام، مع بثه لعقيدته في تفسيره، وعدم محافظته على التقريرات العقدية ليحيى بن سلام، ثم نشطت حركة التفسير عندهم في العصور المتأخرة.

كان لأسرة المهالبة دور بارز ومشهور في رد خطر الخوارج وتثبيت أركان الدولتين الأموية والعباسية؛ وذلك بسبب براعتهم العسكرية وحسن سياستهم، وقد ذاع صيتهم في المشرق والمغرب بوصفهم قادة وساسة لا يشق لهم غبار، كما كان لهذه الأسرة أيضا دور حضاري في رعاية العلم والعلماء، واشتهر عدد من علمائهم وأدباءهم في المشرق، إلا أن المؤرخين أغفلوا- في المجمل- ذكر أثرهم الحضاري في المغرب. وتتناول الدراسة أصل المهالبة ودورهم السياسي في عصر الولاة ورعايتهم للعلم والعلماء في بلاد المغرب العربي من خلال استعراض نماذج مختارة من تعاملهم مع العلماء. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى مجموعة من النتائج، منها أن أثر المهالبة في المغرب لم يقتصر على الجانب السياسي أو العسكري، بل تنوع بين السياسي والإداري والعسكري والثقافي. كما توصلت الدراسة إلى أن المهالبة أدوا دورا مهما في ازدهار الحركة العلمية في المغرب بما عرف عنهم من ثقافة عالية وواسعة واهتمام بالعلماء.

Explaining the grounds and causes of the formation and continuity of the Ibadiyya religion in Oman - Pirmoradian, Mostafa; Boosaidi, Fereshteh; Hossein Hashemi, Zahra (Journal of Historical Researches of Iran and Islam, 2020)
The cultural and social structure of the early Islamic society led to the emergence of various groups and sects at that time.One of these groups was the Kharijites, who themselves were categorized,and some of them went to extremes,some to extremes, and some to moderation.Ibadiyya is one of the groups that emerged from these developments. By the end of the fourth century, some regions of the Islamic world,‌including; It included Iran,‌Saudi Arabia,‌Andalusia,‌Africa,‌Yemen and Oman. But they all stagnated for cultural,‌political,‌and social reasons after a while,‌and only two geographical areas,‌North Africa and the Arab country of Oman,‌provided the environment for them to survive.‌The heights,‌deserts and remoteness of Oman from the main centers of the Caliphate, the flight and exile of the opposition to Oman, the unrest in Oman during the Umayyad era,‌the efforts of the Ibadi imams to spread the invitation outside Basra,‌the presence of prominent Ibadi figures in Oman,‌closeness The kinship between Oman and Basra, the conformity of the system of electing the Imam with the system of electing the chief of the tribe in Oman,... were among the factors and grounds for the formation and continuation of Ibadiyya in Oman. In this research,‌the main question has been answered by descriptive-analytical method and through a library study: What were the backgrounds and causes of the formation and continuation of the Ibadiyya religion in Oman?The hypothesis of the article is that social,geographical,political and intellectual factors and contexts have led to the formation and continuation of the Ibadi religion in Oman.

Maghribis & Manuscripts in Ottoman Cairo - Love Jr, Paul M. (2020)
From the 17th-20th centuries, Ibadi Muslims from the Maghrib traveled to Ottoman Cairo to seek financial, spiritual, or intellectual gain. At the center of their community lay a trade agency, school, residence, and library known as the “Buffalo Agency” (Wikālat al-jāmūs), located just around the corner from the famous Ibn Tulun Mosque. Using the Agency’s manuscript library as its material and geographic anchor, this project sketches the lives of Ibadi merchants, students, and scholars to show how Maghribi Ibadis participated in the legal, intellectual, and commercial worlds of Ottoman Cairo.

The State of Ibadism Online - Propst, Amanda (2020)
The digitization of archives is usually approached from the starting point of the physical archives, looking toward the end user experience. Libraries give figures for how much of their collections they have digitized, yet assessing the extent of digitization in a given archive or library tells only part of the story. Beyond the perspective of the archivist—who is concerned with the progress so far made in digitizing a given collection—is the interest of the user investigating Ibadism online, a user who may be an Arabic-speaking student or English-speaking scholar, and many in between. As such, a review of the online experience for this user is desirable. This paper first contextualizes Ibadi studies in the larger movement towards mass digitization of libraries and then investigates on a more general level the state of Ibadism online, from the perspectives of the researcher and student. Rather than a catalog of what sources have been digitized, this paper surveys the Ibadi materials currently available online filtered by their ease of use and discovery. I break the field of Ibadi studies online into two main groups: digitized Ibadi sources, such as those by classical authors and modern scholars, from both official outlets and informal sharing sites, and religiously-oriented sites where Ibadi Muslims communicate outside of traditional platforms of publication. Throughout, I focus on the availability of materials online to a user interested in classical and contemporary Ibadism in order to approach the questions of how Ibadism is presented on the internet and where further development is warranted from the perspective of the online user.

Building Ibadi Manuscript Archives in Tunisia: The Salim b. Ya'qub Library in Djerba - Love Jr, Paul M. (2020)
Using the example of a recent inventory carried out in 2015 of the private library of the late Ibadi scholar and historian Salim b. Ya’qub (d.1991) in Tunisia, this presentation argues the late 19th and early 20th centuries represent a formative period for many major Ibadi manuscript collections in Tunisia. The Bin Ya’qub library, similar to manuscript collections through the Maghrib, the Sahara, and West Africa, reflects the archive-building travels and efforts of a Muslim scholar during the early 20th century and typifies a broader trend in Northern Africa toward the accumulation of large manuscript collections that today represent the main repositories of primary source material used by historians to write the history of Islam in the region. By offering a brief history of the creation of the Bin Yaq’ub library and the accumulation of its contents, the presentation suggests that thinking of the history of these and other Ibadi manuscript collections in terms of a network of scholars and books, constantly in motion, can help reshape the way historians use the texts of Ibadi archives. In addition, this paper considers the impact of the history of this and other Ibadi libraries in Tunisia on current research on pre-modern and early modern Ibadi history. In short, it considers the ways in which the story of the creation of this 20th century collection influences the ways in which we understand the history of pre-modern Ibadism.

A l'école des enfants malades - Bassalah, Iman (Kero, 2020)
Au détour d'une vie aventureuse, Iman Bassalah, écrivain, reprend son tablier de prof pour parcourir l'Ile-de-France à la rencontre d'élèves un peu particuliers. Aurèle, Oscar, Rose, Dasha, Noé, Ophélie sont autistes, atteints de maladies génétiques sévères, dépressifs, leucémiques, anorexiques, accidentés, porteurs de handicap ou phobiques scolaires. Leur point commun, c'est de ne pouvoir entrer dans le moule de l'école « normale » et d'avoir intégré celle de la rue Merlin, une association dédiée aux enfants « malades, handicapés, inadaptés » qui permet de transporter l'école à la maison.Dans ce récit très intime, Iman Bassalah nous mène avec elle sur le chemin de l'éclosion d'un regard sur la différence. On y découvre des élèves très attachants mais dont les minois sortent souvent du cadre de la photo scolaire. On soulève le toit des maisons pour les rencontrer chez eux, d'une cité de Sarcelles à un hôtel particulier du 8e arrondissement de Paris. Écouter les mères-courage.

5th-Century BC Himera and the Campanian Connection: Petrographic and Archaeological Studies on Western Greek Amphorae from Poseidonia and Elea Unearthed in the Necropolis of Himera - De Bonis, Alberto; Gassner, Verena; Ntaflos, Theodoros; Rizzo, Maria Luigia; Sauer, Roman; Serritella, Antonia; Vassallo, Stefano; Bechtold, Babette (Minerals, 2020)
Within the frame of an in-depth study of the corpus of about 560 western Greek transport amphorae (6th–5th century BC) yielded from excavations at the necropolis of the Dorian-Chalcidian colony of Himera in North-western Sicily, one of the most interesting issues consists in the determination of their provenance. Based on archaeological considerations, nearly 100 items have been attributed to southern Campania, specifically to Poseidonia and Elea. The present paper proposes a detailed combined archaeological-archaeometric investigation of 16 samples discovered at Himera and one at Jerba (Tunisia), of presumed Campanian provenance, compared with 4 local reference samples from Poseidonia and 6 samples of western Greek amphorae found at Pithekoussai and Elea, attributed to Poseidonia by previous archaeometric analysis. All samples have been submitted to a macroscopic fabric examination according to the standard methods of FACEM (Fabrics of the Central Mediterranean) and to petrographic investigation (polarised light microscopy) and digital image analyses of microstructures. Our study points to a Campanian provenance of the investigated amphorae and their distinction in a large group from Poseidonia and a small group from Elea. The identification of a numerous assemblage of 5th century BC Poseidonian transport vessels at Himera substantially underlines an earlier hypothesis about its ‘Campanian connection’ and allows for the reconstruction of an important Tyrrhenian commercial axis.

Ibadi Muslims of North Africa: Manuscripts, Mobilization, and the Making of a Written Tradition, by Paul M. Love - Prevost, Virginie (The English Historical Review, 2020)
This interesting and concise book finds its origin in Paul Love’s doctoral thesis defended in 2016 at the University of Michigan. It presents an innovative study of medieval Ibadi North-African Siyar. In the Maghrib, Siyar are books containing anecdotal and biographical information about individuals, playing the role of chronicle-style history; they function as prosopographies, collective biographies in which stories about individual members come together to form the biography of the community, constructing a North-African Ibadi tradition (p. xx). Love’s book tells the story of the compilation, adaptation and circulation of that prosopographical corpus through five scholars’ works. The pioneer is Abû Zakariyyâ’ al-Wârjalânî who provided Ibadi scholars of the second part of the eleventh century with a cohesive narrative of their history, when the community was suffering an ongoing numerical decline; he chose to write in the Arabic language at a time when use of the Berber language was also in decline. The author then studies the works of al-Wisyânî, al-Darjînî and al-Barrâdî. The last Ibadi scholar is al-Shammâkhî (d. 1522), who compiled all of the biographies of his predecessors into one collection and brought that medieval tradition of Ibadi prosopography to a close.

Effects in North Africa of the 934–940 CE Eldgjá and 1783–1784 CE Laki eruptions (Iceland) revealed by previously unrecognized written sources - Brugnatelli, Vermondo; Tibaldi, Alessandro (Bulletin of Volcanology, 2020)
In historic times, two catastrophic fissure eruptions originated in the Eastern Volcanic Zone of Iceland, known as Eldgjá eruption (934–940 CE) and Laki eruption (1783–1784 CE). Eldgjá produced 19.7 km3 of lava flows and 1.3 km3 of tephra; Laki emitted 14.7 km3 of lavas and 0.4 km3 of tephra. They released 232 and 122 megatons of SO2 into the atmosphere, respectively. Abundant historic descriptions of the effects of the Laki eruption indicate that the SO2 release produced a sulphuric aerosol that spread across the northern hemisphere with devastating impacts on the population and the environment, especially in Europe. In this study, we present two new written sources that enable the effects of the Eldgjá and Laki eruptions to be fixed to an exact date and place of occurrence in North Africa. These are a medieval North African chronicle known as Rawḍ al-Qirṭās, written in 1326 CE and describing events in Morocco, and a chronicle of events in the island of Djerba (southern Tunisia), written by Muhammad b. Yusef al-Musabi in 1792–1793 CE. These previously unrecognized sources describe in detail the fading of sunlight coupled with the persistent presence of a thick fog made up of fine particles carried over from long distances. The chronicles report events in Morocco in the time period October 938–October 939 CE, and in Tunisia in the year 1783 CE. These data can be interpreted as the first detailed evidence of the consequences of the Eldgjá and Laki eruptions in North Africa. They also can be helpful in dating and determining the area of influence of the eruptions; this may be useful for several applications, such as the numerical simulation of these events, or hazard planning in case of possible future similar eruptions from the same Icelandic area.

The Halachic Approach of Rabbi Moshe Chalfon Ha'kohen From Djerbah As it Reflected in his Halachic writings- 'Brit Kehuna' And the Responsa 'Shoel V'Nishal' - Mamo, Shai (Universität Potsdam, 2020)
This work is focused on the Halachic Approach of Rabbi Moshe Chalfon HaCohen from Djerbah. Rabbi Moshe Chalfon HaCohen was born in 1874 and died 1950. He was appointed Chief Rabbi of Djerbah, an island near Tunisia, in 1935, and is considered to have been one of the greatest rabbis of North Africa, particularly of Tunisia and Djerbah. With the French occupation of Tunisia in 1881, French culture, technological innovations and modernity penetrated the community. All of these affected life in Djerbah and the rabbis, including Rabbi Chalfon, needed to relate to this new situation. This research deals with two of Rabbi Chalfon’s essays dealing with Halachic responsa: “Brit Kehuna” – a compilation of the Halachic responsa and customs of the Jewish community in Djerbah, and “Shoel Venishal,” a book of Halachic responsa which deals with questions and his answers. Among other aspects, this research shows Rabbi Chalfon's unique emphasis on the humane aspects of Halacha and his ability to utilize them versus formal considerations.

Connecting the Ibāḍī Network in North Africa with the Empire (2nd–3rd/8th–9th Centuries) - Aillet, Cyrille (Transregional and Regional Elites – Connecting the Early Islamic Empire, 2020)
At first sight, North African Ibāḍism emerged during the Berber uprisings against Umayyad and ʿAbbāsid rule and stayed at the margins of the empire. The imamate of Tāhart even stood, in the posthumous memory of the school, as an ideal counter-model of the caliphate. In fact, during the 8^th and 9^th centuries western Ibāḍism remained under the influence of its eastern strongholds, in particular Baṣra where the sectarian elite was well integrated into ʿAbbāsid culture. Intense scholarly exchange linked west and east thanks to intermediary meeting points like Mecca and Fusṭāṭ. The Ibāḍī political opposition of ‘Berber’ and ‘Arab’ ethnicity certainly worked against the imperial discourse, but the Persian shuʿūbiyya shaped it. The Rustamid imamate came to be the symbol of a Persian state in a Berber milieu and its capital and state apparatus underwent a gradual orientalization. Trade also played a key role in connecting the Ibāḍī network with the empire. Baṣra was a notorious emporium and Ibāḍī merchants circulated widely between the ʿAbbāsid realm and its western fringes. The Maghribīs owned stores in Fusṭāṭ and traveled as far as Baghdad and Sāmarrāʾ. Trans-Saharan trade, including slaves and gold, also presumably saw its first development thanks to imperial demand.

Ibaḍi Modernism and the Omani nahḍa of 1913 - Barber, Christopher (Leiden University, 2020)
This thesis examines the Ibadi nahda of 1913 through an Islamic Modernist framing to show links between the Ibadi revival and a wider pan-Islamist and anti-colonial moment. The main focus are the writings of Nur al-Din al-Salimi (d. 1914) and Abu Muslim al-Bahlani (d. 1920), two luminaries and revolutionaries of the Ibadi revival movement. An 'episodic discourse' model of ideology production is used to relate the social and material conditions of turn of the century colonial Zanzibar and Oman to modernist religious discourse.

Becoming the 'Abid: lives and social origins in Southern Tunisia - Scaglioni, Marta (Ledizioni, 2020)
In 2011, after a popular uprising overthrew President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, several issues came to the fore in Tunisia: among them was racism targeting "black" individuals. The few black rights organizations that emerged managed to obtain passage of a law punishing racist acts and words in October 2019. This historic step stems from Tunisia’s far-seeing policy concerning human and civil rights. In 1846, Tunisia was the first country in the Ottoman Empire and the Middle Eastern world to abolish slavery and the slave trade. Becoming the 'Abid addresses the legacy of slavery in a southern Tunisian governorate, where racism towards "black" individuals is still a painful experience and takes the form of professional, educational, and marital discrimination. Referring to the concept of structural inequality, the book goes beyond the simplistic idea that race is limited to phenotype; instead, it distances itself from Western racial concepts and highlights how processes of racialization are contextual, processual, and changing constructions.

The Buffalo Agency: Maghribi Ibadis in Cairo, 1850-1950 - Chomiak, Laryssa (Centre d’Études Maghrébines, 2020)
Episode 92: The Buffalo Agency: Maghribi Ibadis in Cairo, 1850-1950 In this interview, Paul Love discusses the early stages of his new book project on the history of Ibadi Muslims from the Maghrib who lived, worked, and studied in Ottoman Cairo. Tentatively titled The Buffalo Agency: Ibadi Muslims in Ottoman Cairo, the book follows the history of a trade agency, school, and library known as the ‘Buffalo Agency’ (Wikalat al-jamus), operated by Ibadis for nearly four centuries in the Tulun district of Cairo. From its founding in the 17th to century to its closure in the 20th, the Agency served as a waystation for students, scholars, and merchants on their journeys through Cairo. During that same period, it also became a school and library for Ibadi students and scholars connected to the famous al-Azhar mosque, some of whom stayed in Egypt for decades. By exploring the lives of Ibadi Muslims as they moved through the world of sharʿiah courts, made use of waqf to endow properties and books, and studied alongside and did business with their Sunni coreligionists, The Buffalo Agency shows the way in which Ibadis belonged fully to the Ottoman world. At the same time, the book shows how Ibadis in Cairo maintained connections with their coreligionists in North Africa, East Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. The interview focuses on the early chapters of the book, including those based on research in the Tunisian National Archives during summer 2019. Paul spent part of the summer on an AIMS grant, which allowed him time to examine the correspondence of one of the most prominent Ibadis of the Ottoman Empire: Saʿid b. Qasim al-Shammakhi, who served as both the director of the Buffalo Agency and the representative of the Tunisian Bey in Egypt during the mid-19th century. Paul Love earned his PhD in Near Eastern Studies from the University of Michigan (2016). He is currently Assistant Professor of North African, Middle Eastern, and Islamic History at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco. His research focuses on the history of Ibadi Muslim communities in northern Africa, the Arabic manuscript traditions of the Maghrib, and colonial knowledge production in North Africa and the Sahara. His first book, Ibadi Muslims of North Africa (Cambridge University Press, 2018), traced the history of the formation of an Ibadi Muslim tradition in the Maghrib from the 11th-16th centuries. His recent publications have appeared in the Journal of African History, the Journal of Islamic Manuscripts, and Etudes et Documents Berbères. This interview was led by CEMAT Director, Dr. Laryssa Chomiak, and was recorded on July 19, 2019, at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT).

Ibāḍī Tafsīr Literature - Hoffman, Valerie J.; Shueili, Sulaiman bin Ali bin Amir al- (The Oxford Handbook of Qur'anic Studies, 2020)
Although Ibāḍīs wrote frequently on philology, rhetoric, theology, and the sciences of Qur’an interpretation, there has been little interest in the composition of complete Ibāḍī tafsīrs until the modern period. Ibāḍī teachers taught Qur’anic interpretation to their students using Sunni tafsīrs as their reference before the publication of Aṭfiyyash’s tafsīrs in the nineteenth century. Ibāḍī commentators have based their works on Sunni tafsīrs, inserting the distinct doctrinal perspectives of their school at relevant points. Ibāḍī tafsīrs share a perspective on the necessity of interpreting the Qur’an in a non-literal manner if the literal meaning of the text contradicts Ibāḍī doctrines on God, faith, and the afterlife.

Principles and Practices in Ibadi and Shiʿi Learning - Günther, Sebastian (Brill, 2020)
"Knowledge and Education in Classical Islam: Religious Learning between Continuity and Change is a pioneering collection of essays on the historical developments, ideals, and practices of Islamic learning and teaching in the formative and classical periods of Islam (i.e., from the seventh to fifteenth centuries CE). Based on innovative and philologically sound primary source research, and utilizing the most recent methodological tools, this two volume set sheds new light on the challenges and opportunities that arise from a deep engagement with classical Islamic concepts of knowledge, its production and acquisition, and, of course, learning. Learning is especially important because of its relevance to contemporary communities and societies in our increasingly multicultural, "global" civilizations, whether Eastern or Western.

Une histoire de l'Algérie par les sources arabes - Guichard, Benjamin (2020)
[Un livre, des collections] Rencontre avec Augustin Jomier, auteur du livre Islam, réforme, colonisation : une histoire de l'ibadisme en Algérie (1882-1962) En partenariat avec les Éditions de la Sorbonne Comment écrire une histoire des temps coloniaux à partir de points de vue d'Algériens et comment penser le réformisme musulman, problème majeur de l'histoire contemporaine de l’islam ? C’est à ces deux questions connexes, aussi centrales qu’irrésolues, que s’attaque simultanément Augustin Jomier dans son étude sur l’ibadisme contemporain, qui vient de paraître aux Éditions de la Sorbonne. La rencontre sera animée par Benjamin Guichard, directeur scientifique de la BULAC, qui présentera en préambule les collections ibadites de la BULAC. L'intervenant : Docteur et agrégé d’histoire, ancien élève de l’École normale supérieure de Lyon, Augustin Jomier a enseigné aux universités du Mans, de Paris-Est-Créteil, à l’EHESS et à l’EPHE. Il a été pensionnaire de la Fondation Thiers (2013-2016), puis lauréat d’une Chaire d’excellence de l’Université Sorbonne-Paris-Cité (2016-2019) et Visiting research fellow au Near Eastern Studies Department de l’Université de Princeton, USA (2018). Il est actuellement maître de conférences à l’Inalco en histoire du Maghreb aux périodes moderne et contemporaine et chercheur au CERMOM. À la jonction entre l’histoire coloniale et l’histoire de l’islam, il s’intéresse aux mutations sociales et culturelles du Maghreb à la période contemporaine, histoire qu’il écrit à partir de sources en langue arabe et en langues européennes. Son premier livre, Islam, réforme et colonisation : une histoire de l’ibadisme en Algérie (1882-1962), Paris, Éditions de la Sorbonne, 2020, enquête sur la question du réformisme musulman parmi les populations ibadites du Mzab, dans l’Algérie coloniale. Le chantier principal auquel il s’attèle à présent porte sur l’histoire sociale et culturelle du livre et de la lecture au Maghreb (XVIIIe-XXe siècle). Il est aussi investi dans un projet intitulé « L'orientalisme en train de se faire », mené à l'EHESS autour des archives de René Basset (1855-1924), fonds d’archives dont il est le responsable scientifique.

The present article analyses the impact of different East African geographical, social and economic conditions on the settlement model of the Omani in this area in 1806–1856. The article indicates that the Oman settlement model has undergone significant changes, including the appearance of new forms of settlement, a change in building material, and the adoption of solutions practiced by African cultures. On the other hand, however, many important elements, such as the architecture and tribal settlement structure, were transferred to East Africa.

The Idea of a United Libya: Sulayman al-Baruni, Pan-Arabism and National Identity - Baldinetti, Anna (Libya between Resilience, New Opportunities and Challenges for the Berbers, 2020)
The paper, based on archival sources and Arabic press, addresses the emergence and construction of a Libyan nation and nationalism, particularly among Libyan exiles, in the Mediterranean region from the 1930s until independence. Since the 1930s, associations of Libyan exiles in Tunisia, Syria and Egypt began to imagine the future of their country in an attempt to find an alternative to both Italian colonial occupation, and the older previous political system, which had collapsed in its wake. I discuss how the influence of Pan-Arabism in the theoretical elaboration of a “Libyan nation-state” led to referring to the Libyan nation as an Arab nation. The paper stresses the contribution of Sulayman al-Baruni to the debate. Particular attention is devoted to a series of articles published in 1937 by al-Baruni in al-Rabita al-‛Arabiyya. This weekly Egyptian magazine was an important instrument in giving voice to different points of view on the Libyan question. I argue that al-Baruni’s stress on an Arab-Islamic identity probably aimed at appeasing and overcoming the divergences between Tripolitanians and Cyrenaicans concerning the “imagined” future Libyan nation. (Upon independence, the Arabism-Islam binomial became the watchword for the construction of a new national identity. This binomial did not include the Berbers and other minority groups and denied them any official recognition).

Sulayman al-Baruni in Italy (1919-1920): From the Dream of the Berber Principality to the Italo-Tripolitanian Brotherhood - Cresti, Federico (Libya between Resilience, New Opportunities and Challenges for the Berbers, 2020)
Sulayman al-Baruni played a particularly important role during the first decade of the colonial occupation in Libya: from the landing of the troops in Tripoli till the end of the First World War, he was one of the main animators of the resistance against the Italian intervention. A muslim of Ibadi confession, he belonged to one of the most important families of the Adrar n Infusen (the Berber mountain) region and was elected deputy of the Ottoman parliament after the seizure of power by the Union and Progress Committee in 1908. Closely related to Enver Pasha, one of the most prominent figures in Ottoman politics of that period, in 1913 he was appointed senator in Istanbul. During the First World War he was charged with promoting the intervention of the Libyan forces alongside the central Empires against Italy and its allies. The interpretations of his thought and political activity have made him one of the followers of the Berber principality dream, one of the protagonists of the pan-Islamist action in North Africa and, finally, one of the “lions” of Tripolitanian proto-nationalism as a leading member of the ephemeral Jumhuriyya al-Tarabulusiyya of 1918. This paper aims at analyzing the position of Sulayman al-Baruni towards the new politics of colonial Italy after the First World War, trying to understand it through some archival documents concerning his stays in Italy in 1919 and 1920.

Ballaghanā ʿan an-Nabī: early Basran and Omani Ibāḍī understandings of sunna and siyar, āthār, and nasab - Gaiser, Adam R. (Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 2020)
This paper explores the usages of four concepts – sunna, sīra, āthār, and nasab – mainly in early Ibāḍī epistles, but also in other types of Ibāḍī literature, to examine how early Ibāḍīs understood the legacy of the Prophet Muḥammad, and their relation to that legacy. It argues that before the sixth/twelfth century a notion of communal pedigree occupied pride of place in early Ibāḍī conceptualizations of legality and legitimacy. Thus, Ibāḍī sunna was “communal sunna”. The accumulated weight of Ibāḍī tradition – what is known as āthār in Ibāḍī literature – operated authoritatively as a counterpart to sunna; and the Ibāḍī siyar tradition did not focus on the Prophet exclusively, but rather described the scholarly community as an imagined whole. Moreover, Ibāḍīs explicitly articulated their communal pedigree in “teacher lines” (called nasab al-dīn or nasab al-islām) in Omani literature, and through the structure of their ṭabaqāt/siyar works in North Africa. Appreciating the importance of this communal pedigree, and the nexus of concepts through which it was articulated, helps us to understand the relative lack of emphasis placed on collecting and documenting ḥadīth (Ibāḍīs employ ḥadīth, but they did not use isnāds, nor did they appear to have a ḥadīth collection until the sixth/twelfth century), as well as the general absence of Prophetic biography among them (which also does not appear until the sixth/twelfth century).

Minorités et politique de la reconnaissance en Algérie. La Kabylie et le Mzab - Tilmatine, Mohand (Confluences Méditerranée, 2020)
La question des minorités linguistique et religieuse demeure un sujet quasi tabou en Algérie. La mise sous silence des langues berbères et la marginalisation des religions minoritaires sont remarquables par leur durée et leur constance. Cet article analyse certaines réponses des acteurs minoritaires de la Kabylie et du Mzab face aux politiques restrictives des gouvernements algériens successifs. L’analyse s’intéresse aux modes d’inclusion/ exclusion de ces minorités dans la nation et des formes de demandes de reconnaissance. En particulier, le processus de patrimonialisation focalise des enjeux politiques et symboliques autour desquels l’État et les minorités s’affrontent.

(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020)
Objectives Tunisia has been a crossroads for people from Africa, Europe, and the Middle East since prehistoric times. At present, it is inhabited by two main ethnic groups, Arabs and Berbers, and several minorities. This study aims to advance knowledge regarding their genetic structure using new population samplings and a genome-wide approach. Materials and Methods We investigated genomic variation, estimated ancestry components and dated admixture events in three Berber and two Arab populations from Southern Tunisia, mining a dataset including Middle Eastern, sub-Saharan, and European populations. Results Differences in the proportion of North African, Arabian, and European ancestries and the varying impact of admixture and isolation determined significant heterogeneity in the genetic structure of Southern Tunisian populations. Admixture time estimates show a multilayer pattern of admixture events, involving both ethno-linguistic groups, which started around the mid XI century and lasted for nearly five centuries. Discussion Our study provides evidence that the relationships between genetic and cultural diversity of old and new inhabitants of North Africa in southern Tunisia follow different patterns. The Berbers seem to have preserved a significant part of their common genomic heritage despite Islamization, Arab cultural influence, and linguistic diversity. Compared to Morocco and Algeria, southern Tunisian Arabs have retained a higher level of Arabian ancestry. This is more evident in the semi-nomad R'Baya, who have kept their original Bedouin lifestyle, than in the population from Douz, who have undergone multiple events of stratification and admixture.

The Nabhānīs: A Sketch for Understanding - Salimi, Abdulrahman al- (Studi Magrebini, 2020)
The Nabhānī State first appeared in Oman in the 6th/12th century and lasted till the 11th/17th century. During this period the fall of Baghdad, which occurred in 656/1258, led to a number of radical political and cultural changes in the Gulf region, and the aim of the present study is to re-evaluate the conclusions of the (2002) study against a wider background. In doing so it will firstly re-evaluate the original and modern sources dealing with that period. Secondly, it will take a broader look at the political and regional situation at that time and its impact on the course of Oman’s historical development – in other words, it will consider Omani history within a regional context. Thirdly, it will look for the roots of that state and relate it more accurately to Oman’s historical chronology and regional context.

Ibadism and law in historical contexts - Vikør, Knut S. (Oñati Socio-Legal Series, 2020)
Not Sunnis and not Shi’is, the Ibāḍī Muslims of Oman and some areas of North Africa form a “third branch” of Islam, with their own version of the Sharīʿa law. The development of this law displays many interconnections with the political history of the Ibāḍīs, which spanned from an independent sultanate in Oman, through minority status under Sunni rule in Tunisia and Libya, to isolated desert communities in Algerian Sahara. This article gives an overview over such interconnections between the political (state authority) and the legal, through history and in contemporary North Africa, with some examples of legal discussions from the “Ibāḍī renaissance” (nahḍa) in the twentieth-century Saharan oasis of Mzab.
