Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, 8vo, 504 pp, coloured frontispiece, 60 photographic illustrations and 47 text illustrations, original cloth, continuous browning stain to lower corners does not effect text, text plates and illustrations largely very clean, By the early nineteenth centuries, variations of the Bori cult were observed in Tunis, Tripoli, Algiers and Morocco. In Tunis, Bori practice was first reported by Ahmad ibn a-Qadi al-Timbuktawi, who stayed in Tunis on his way to hajj around 1809, but scholarly documentation of its origin in North Africa can be traced to Tremearne. Writing in 1914, Tremearne attributed the origins of the Bori cult in North Africa to slavery, although a few adepts of the cult came to North Africa voluntarily, either on trading expedition or on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The cult as documented by al-Timbuktawi and Tremearne was clearly linked to the voluminous importation of enslaved West Africans to Tunisia. At the height of the trans-Saharan slave trade, Tunisia became a transit centre for the transportation of slaves to the Ottoman Empire.
