Here is an online exhibit of manuscripts from the Desert Libraries of Timbuktu. The descriptions of the manuscripts are quite interesting. Hat tip to, um, Language Hat.

Meanwhile, Tenser, said the Tensor notices the etymology of a couple of interesting words.

Very cool! Especially the manuscripts.

Thanks for linking!

I have to admit in being very interested in evidence that there is/was learning outside the Western World. Being firmly convinced that Indian culture far preceded all such in breadth and depth of knowledge of many things, of course. ;-)
