Welcome to Medieval Nubia!
This is a site dedicated to the collaborative publication of scholarly resources for the study of medieval Nubia.

If you are interested in editing or adding to one of the available articles, or if you would like to contribute a new scholarly resource of your own, feel free to contact us, and we can give you the necessary editorial access. We welcome any and all ideas for growing this site and making it useful to the widest number of people.
