المخطوطات المغاربية بالدول الأوروبية : فرنسا و بريطانيا أنموذجا (دراسة وصفية تاريخية)‎

Abstract EN

Manuscripts are very importants in rewriting Islamic, Arab and Algerian history.

These are precious documents that carry scientific, artistic, political, social and economic values.

Our Arabic manuscripts in general and particulary Maghrebins were subjected to theft and colonial pillage and local neglect and indifference too.

its value as a treasure and civilizational resource was not recognized.

On the other side, Europeans knew their real value centuries before us, and transferred them from the Maghreb to various European metropolises.

The orientalists made enormous efforts in the maintenance of these manuscripts, despite their motivations, and aims, they took care of our manuscripts, because of their respect for the sciences and their appreciation of the value of the ancient writings.

we focus on Maghreb manuscripts in France and Great Britain who treated these manuscripts, indexed them so they became the most important centers and libraries in which they are found.
