Abstract

This article aims to highlight the importance of Algerian local sources in writing and recording the history of Algeria during the Ottoman period through the travels of Algerian scholars to the WEast and the Arab East, especially in the 11th century AH / 17 AD, and the extent to which they contribute to shedding light on an aspect of Algeria's cultural history in the modern period and activating the scientific movement and cultural communication between the Eyalet of Algeria and the Arab countries. As examples of these trips, I chose the journeys of Abu al-Abbas Ahmad al-Maqarri and Abu Zakaria al-Shawi Yahya al-Na'ili during the 11th century AH / 17 AD.
