Evidence

"This 519-page manuscript was copied from the original in 1859 in a beautiful, clear Sahrawi script."

Remarks

The paper used for these 19th-century manuscripts (dated between 1853 and 1859) supports large-scale works, such as the four-volume 'Fath al-wahhab' where each volume exceeds 700 pages (p. 215). The manuscripts are currently housed in the Ahmed Baba Institute and the Mamma Haidara Library in Timbuktu (p. 215). Visual evidence shows the paper used for esoteric incantations (p. 205) is highly degraded at the margins.
