COBHUNI and the Kairouan Manuscripts
COBHUNI had the great opportunity to visit the National Laboratory for the Maintenance and Preservation of Parchments and Manuscripts of Rakkada (Kairouan-Tunisia). Founded in 1994 by a presidential order, the Laboratory contains around 70.000 pieces of the oldest Maliki manuscripts’ collection in the Islamic world. COBHUNI team member Khaoula Trad made her first archival trip to Kairouan in May 2017.
