Sinossi

"Timbuktu Learning Centers" explores how Timbuktu, a city strategically positioned within the trans-Saharan trade network, became a prominent center for Islamic scholarship and intellectual life. It examines the deliberate cultivation of learning that transformed Timbuktu into a rival to renowned centers in Europe and the Middle East. The book details the organization of mosques and madrasas, the creation and preservation of vast manuscript libraries, and the unique traditions of Islamic education that fostered critical thinking. By examining digitized manuscripts, historical chronicles, and biographical accounts of scholars, the book argues that Timbuktu's intellectual flourishing was a sustained effort, not merely a consequence of trade. 

 
The book progresses by first situating Timbuktu within its historical and geographical context, highlighting its economic prosperity. It then investigates the social and political structures supporting the scholarly community, including the patronage of rulers. The text analyzes the curricula, teaching methods, and intellectual contributions of scholars at major institutions like the Sankore Mosque. This detailed approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how Timbuktu's manuscript libraries became repositories of knowledge spanning Islamic law, astronomy, medicine, and literature, demonstrating the city's lasting legacy in Islamic scholarship and West African history.

A Little Cocaine to Loosen My...

Sigmund Freud

In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.
