'A Sudanese literature developed and many books were written. Leo Africanus, who wrote wone of the best known works on the Western Sudan, says: "In Timbuctoo there are numerous judges, doctors and clerics, all receiving good salaries from the king. He pays great respect to men of learning. There is a big demand for books in manuscript, imported from Barbary (North Africa). More profit is made from the book trade than from any other line of business.'

Clarke, J. H. (1964) "The Search for Timbuctoo" in The Journal of Negro Education, pp. 125-130
