The Manuscript Tradition of the Islamic West: Maghribī Round Scripts and
the Andalusī Identity



This seminar will explore the distinctive writing practices and bookhands
of Iberia and North Africa between the tenth and the twelfth centuries,
shedding some new light on a rich calligraphic tradition that was crucial
for the creation of the Andalusī identity and its spread throughout the
medieval Mediterranean.
