""Several manuscripts were burnt in the fire, notably 'Annaqd', a
book that's part of the work of the 'wali' (saint) the mausoleum was erected
for, and which carries the wali's 'tariqa' teachings. These manuscripts are
extremely rare; only a few copies exist. Korans were also burnt. They were
precious because they were decorated with calligraphy by Sidi Bou Said's closest
disciples.""
