Paper long abstract

At this conference, we'll study the role of the book as a compendium in preserving the tradition of poetry-sung of Maghrebin scholarly music, known as Arab-Andalusian music. In fact, the preservation of a multi-secular heritage stemming from a multilingual and transcultural oral know-how, is now mainly through collections and collection media. On the one hand, by the development of beautiful books and on the other hand, by the culture of digitization of rare manuscripts and the provision of resources in lines. For this, we will put forward, the role of Gallica sites and Algerian cultural heritage in this desire. In addition, we will show how the beautiful book makes it possible to become the backdrop of inherent knowledge: translation, editing and of course, music. Therefore, the reader becomes by his quest and his curiosity, both the custodian, the Legatee and the keeper of a timeless culture.
