The second Islamic age (1050-1450)
General History of Africa [page 108]
What characterizes this long period is the richness, the excellence and the variety of our information. Archival sources, still secondary to literary writings, are none the less important: Geniza documents, Almoravid and Almohad letters, Waqf records, fatwas, Italian documents, official items interpolated in the great compilations. The chroniclers produce works of the highest order, valuable both for their observation of contemporary facts and for reproduction of ancient sources now lost. Finally, for black Africa our knowledge reaches its peak, while new African documents appear in the shape of the Ethiopian manuscripts.

'Ethnic groups in Africa' ---- or 'King of Ethiopia or Civiliter Moortuus'?
OR just further Disrespect to BOTH Islaam and African AMericans with the Yehuudee: or jewishGeniza?
---MORE---Stereotypical/Misconception from the BIA, 'whitePrivilidged' corner of Racialistic Racism
