CONSTELLATIONS – KEWAKIBT – CFEE BOOK LAUNCH:

Catalogue of the manuscripts in the Sherif Harar municipal museum

January 6th 2026 – 4:30 PM. Rimbaud House, Harar-Jugol

With Anne Regourd and ‘Abdullahi ‘Ali Sherif

 

Islam took root in Ethiopia’s cultural and linguistic diversity thanks to the dissemination of ideas and practices conveyed by scholarly and mystical figures. Their memory has been preserved in locally published biographical collections, which remain largely unexplored in the context of academic Islamic studies.

The KEWAKIBT [CONSTELLATIONS] project has been funded for two years by the French Institute of Islamology (IFI). It aims to explore these sources and to collect, organize, and make available online information on the ʿulamāʾ, awliyāʾ, fuqahāʾ, and other figures who shaped the history of Islam in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa region. The program is directed by Eloi Ficquet (EHESS, CéSor, CFEE) and Alessandro Gori (University of Copenhagen), and is jointly run by EHESS (via the CéSor laboratory) and the French Center for Ethiopian Studies (CFEE). It brings together a group of philologists and historians specializing in Islamic textual traditions from different regions of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.

The data collected will be drawn from a selected corpus of primary sources in Arabic and the languages of the Horn of Africa, mainly printed works but also a number of manuscripts. By combining philological methods and digital humanities tools, the project aims to shed light on the representations, networks, and values transmitted through these narratives.
