A new, and very pleasant, visit

On January 28th we met at the Bibliotheca Orientalis a group of scholars from Algeria and Syria. After a visit to the old town of Trani, the delegation was welcomed by Attilio Petruccioli at the Bibliotheca Orientalis. They were particularly interested in the cartographic collection and the book section on the Maghreb and the Middle East.
