    Fallou Ngom & Phillippe Beaujard. 2017. African Ajami Library: Digital Preservation of Antemoro Malagasy Ajami Manuscripts.
    Abstract
    The material is the first of two texts copied and owned by Jean, a diviner-healer (called ombiasy in Malagasy). Jean belonged to the Anakara Clan and lived in a village called Vatomasina in the Antemoro region (in the valley of the Matatàña River). The original author of the material is unknown. The material was photographed between 1983 and 1990. The material was written on paper school notebooks. While the exact content of material is unknown, it is believed to contain guidance for charms, divination, and healing through prayers, geomancy, and astrology.
