Subject: Slideshow: Ancient manuscripts of Timbuktu collections

Greetings, All.
I found to be of superlative interest this presentation of preservation efforts of private and public collections of Timbuktu. Subject matters of these centuries'-old treasures cover the range of
"religion, philosophy, astrology, physics, chemistry, geometry, biology, herbal cures for impotence, law, good governance, women's rights, apothecar, botany,.." Gorgeous graphics, frame-worthy photography.
