L’or africain et le paradoxe de Sijilmassa (Maroc – viiie-xive siècles)

Abstract: Les dinars de Sijilmassa ont alimenté, durant toute l’époque médiévale, les finances des grandes puissances méditerranéennes, aussi bien du côté des terres d’Islam que des terres chrétiennes. Cette ville oasienne des confins du Sahara, née au VIIIe siècle, est en effet d’une part devenue un lieu d’escale majeur dans le cadre du trafic de l’or qui traversait le Grand Désert en provenance de l’Afrique sahélienne et à destination du Maghreb islamisé et d’autre part un atelier de frappe monétaire de premier plan. … Show more

“…The article is quite unconventional in terms of its contribution to the current state of study, in three ways. First, the geographers, historians and archeologists that have seriously dealt with Sijilmassa/Rissani and their environs were far from giving full, in-depth attention to the indigenous Jewish element and its multifaceted material expressions [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Moreover, a monograph on Tafilalt's Jewish community with respect to material culture, such as the layout of the settlement and its architecture, domestic furniture and cloth, jewelry, and relevant documents has yet to be written.…”
