Scope and Contents
"The Sankore Mosque has a courtyard surrounded by enclosed arcaded galleries and the prayer-hall. The original building dates from the fourteenth-fifteenth centuries, and the galleries and the buttressing of the minaret were probably added in the late 1840s." [Frishman M. and Khan H.-U., 1994: The Mosque. Thames and London Ltd.]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17,1970.
