Sister Jabou Joh, Cornelius Hammelberg,
Please find below a couple of links to some sites that may shed more light
on the issue of the Timbuktu Manuscripts. One of them is an online
exhibition where texts referring to subjects as diverse as medicine and
politics are displayed. The general effort to preserve these texts dates
back a couple of years now, with quite a number of scholars, both African
and American, involved in different aspects of the enterprise.
