Summary
Chapter 9 demonstrates what the extant copies of the Ibadi prosopographical corpus reveal about Ibadi manuscript culture of over the periods discussed in previous chapters. Examples relating to paratexts, watermarks, and bindings show the ways in which Ibadi manuscript culture, like the prosopographical tradition it helped produce, at once reflected circumstances particular to the Ibadi communities of Northern Africa and followed broader trends in the Arab-Islamic manuscript tradition in which they operated.
