Welcome to Medieval Nubia!

This is a site dedicated to the collaborative publication of scholarly resources for the study of medieval Nubia. It is a site that will grow as scholars from the international community use and contribute to it. A preliminary list of resources appears below. All articles on this site can be edited by multiple people at once, and their edits can automatically appear on the live website, available for the world to use. 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.


New Publications: We recommend a new translation of the Old Nubian Miracle of Saint Mina into English and Dongolawi Andaandi is now available at Uitgeverij and the Database of Medieval Nubian Texts. And now announcing the publication of Medieval Nubia: A Social and Economic History and Chronological Systems of Christian Nubia.
