المستشرق الفرنسي ألفرد بل مؤرخا و أنثروبولوجيا للدين الإسلامي في شمال إفريقيا

Abstract EN

In this paper, we will try to shed light on the experience of the french orientalist Alfred BEL in studying the Islamic religion in North Africa historically by presenting his book "The Islamic religion in the Berber countries".

We will also try to highlight his attempt to study this religion from an anthropological point of view, that is, by using field research methods and tools, such as participatory observation and comparison, by reviewing some examples of his works, which were published in the form of articles in some orientalist magazines, or in the form of brief researchs.
