Arabic mathematical manuscripts in Mauretania

Year: 1990

Type: article

Abstract: A discussion of the mathematical manuscripts of Mauretania requires an overall introduction to this almost completely unexplored literature. Its foundations must first be established. Between the years 1978 and 1985 a project financed initially by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (BRD), then by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, was entrusted to Dr. Rainer Oßwald and myself by the Mauretanian Ministry of Cultural Affairs. Its objective was the collection and protection of the selected Arabic manuscript literature of Mauretania.
