Beschreibung:
Virginie Prevost (Université Libre de Bruxelles) has published L'aventure ibāḍite dans le Sud tunisien (Helsinki, 2008), Les Ibadites. De Djerba à Oman, la troisième voie de l'Islam (Turnhout, 2010) and numerous articles on the history of Djerba.
This volume studies the history of the local memory of the island of Djerba in the Medieval period, through its places of worship. A key corpus of 48 places of worship mentioned in written Ibadite sources, including the chronicle of al-Ḥīlātī provide essential reference for this period.
