medieval Libya

Libya Islamica’s scope encompasses the different historical, geographical and cultural aspects within the borders of “modern-day Libya”, from the Islamic conquest (1st/7th c.) until the establishment of the Ottoman rule (10th/16th c.). The series will publish
- editions and translations of primary sources, especially from manuscripts held in Libyan libraries — which are terrae incognitae to Western scholars. This will offer a wide material to dig into, and deeply renew the historiographical perspectives.
- originals research works (monographs, essays or collections of articles). Among the promising topics we value autonomous powers, networks and prosopography, local and regional histories, popular memories, intellectual productions, documents and deposits, linguistic variety, archaelogy and epigraphy, material cultures and heritage, etc.

We welcome mainly works in Arabic, English and French; other languages can be included too.
