With the opening of collections and improved access to manuscripts across Southern Europe, Northern Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean regions, it has become important to track how authors and titles circulated in libraries from East to West/West to East. This panel examines questions like these: What western authors were known, collected and read in the Middle East and Northern Africa? How did authors from those regions find their way to western readers?
