Houn (Hun) is an oasis in the Libyan Fezzan where Jewish merchants have been documented in Ottoman sources, serving as a relay point on the trans-Saharan caravan routes linking Tripoli to Sudan.

Great Book being written

This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Houn give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.

You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
