Summary

A meticulous historical and architectural study of 48 Ibadite mosques on the island of Djerba reveals the resilience and enduring devotion of a distinct Islamic sect, preserving their legacy through time. Virginie Prevost's work, enriched by Axel Derriks' photography since 2009, documents these ancient sanctuaries to safeguard their memory. The research combines thorough documentation with architectural analysis, offering insights into the Ibadite settlement pattern and their cultural significance in an island territory.
