Timbuktu (present-day Tombouctou in Mali), founded around 1100 as a commercial center for trade across the Sahara Desert, was also an important seat of Islamic learning from the 14th century onward. The libraries there contain many important manuscripts, in different styles of Arabic scripts, which were written and copied by Timbuktu's scribes and scholars. These works constitute the city's most famous and long-lasting contribution to Islamic and world civilization. In Munyat al-murīd (The desire of the aspirant), Baba ibn Ahmad al-Alawi al-Maliki al-Maghribi al-Shingiti presents an explanation of the lives and activities of the Sufi Tijānī order. The Tijāniyyah originated in North Africa in the 1780s and was soon established in West Africa. Here the author stresses the importance of individuals and groups within society paying attention to avoiding violence. Description from Library of Congress
