NOTES

Title from title frames

Over 500 years ago, driven out by the Spanish Inquisition, Ismael Diadie’s ancestors left Al-Andalus for Timbuktu. They were guardians of an ancient Islamic library, a legacy of over 12,000 scientific, poetic and religious manuscripts, which they wanted to protect at all cost. But in 2012, Ansar al Din salafist fighters and their al Qaeda allies surrounded Diadie’s house and threatened to destroy his library. Desperate to save the manuscripts, Diadie returns to Granada
