This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) "Histoire de l'Afrique Septentrionale (Berbérie) depuis les temps les plus reculés jusqu'à la conquête française (1830)" by Ernest Mercier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the complex history of North Africa, focusing particularly on the interactions and influences among the Berber, Arab, and various other cultures throughout ancient and medieval times. It emphasizes both the ethnographic and geographical aspects of the region. The opening of the book presents an extensive preface and introduction where the author outlines his motivations for writing this comprehensive history. Mercier reflects on his long-term engagement with Algeria, detailing the diverse populations he observed and the challenges posed by a lack of scholarly resources. He differentiates key historical events, such as the Arab conquest of the 7th century and the later immigration of the Hilalian tribes in the 11th century, setting a framework for understanding the ethnic transformations and cultural dynamics that shaped North Africa. The introduction also defines the geographical boundaries of North Africa and discusses its physical features, which would provide context for the historical narratives that follow in the subsequent chapters.
