Fezzan, route toward Djabal Nafusa
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
Tamzawa, identified in variant forms as Tamarinma, Tamséua, or Tamzawat, was a city on the route from Fezzan toward Djadou in Djabal Nafusa. Al-Bakri associated it with the Banu Kaldin or Kildin and the Fazzana. The supplied passage emphasizes that the city’s earlier name and identification required scholarly correction.

Le récit
Tamzawa occupied a position on the route leading from Fezzan toward Djadou in Djabal Nafusa. Al-Bakri referred to the city as Tamarinma, while the passage proposes reading that form as Tamzawa, corresponding to present-day Tamséua. Ibadi authors knew the settlement under the name Tamzawat, preserving another form of its historical identity.
The city was inhabited by the Banu Kaldin, or Kildin, together with the Fazzana. This association places Tamzawa within the multi-group society of medieval Fezzan rather than presenting it as an isolated settlement. The city’s position on a named route also indicates its participation in regional movement between the Fezzani interior and Djabal Nafusa.
Unlike Sabha, Tamzawa is not described through its mosque, markets, or other urban features in the supplied passage. Its importance rests instead on its location, its inhabitants, and the preservation of several competing names. These variations illustrate the difficulties of identifying Saharan places across Arabic geographical and Ibadi traditions.
