Mauritanian Rock Art: A New Recording


The BA Calligraphy Center published Mauritanian Rock Art: A New Recording, written by distinguished Egyptian Scholar Dr. Hamdi Abbas Abd-El-Moneim.

The book is an attempt to apply new methods and techniques for recording rock art in North-West Africa. The author aims to show the work not as isolated figures but as groups of interrelated figures as well as introduce Mauritanian rock art to the readers, and show the significant role of this sort of archaeological material in studying the history of the region before the appearance of written records.
Mauritanian Rock Art: A New Recording is available for sale at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Bookshop.
