Résumé

This a preliminary catalog of the Arabic manuscripts held at the Association pour la Sauvegarde de l’Île de Djerba (ASIDJ) on the island of Djerba, Tunisia. These manuscripts (bound volumes and assembled collections of fragments, representing many more titles) are all stored in acid-free boxes or folders. All items are housed in the association’s library in a former zawiya in the city of
Houmet Souk. The association also has a sizeable collection of family and other documents in manuscript form that are awaiting cataloging—in case you are interested! Many of the manuscripts carry content related to the history of Ibadism (e.g. MS 013) and the history of Djerba (e.g. MS 01). For example, chronicles or legal compendia containing cases of disputes in Djerba, where there has been a sizeable Ibadi population for centuries.
