If you have a couple of hours to spare, I recommend listening to the episode of the Songhai Empire by the Fall of Civilizations podcast. They go into the fascinating historical background of the Timbuktu scholars and libraries. Link: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfUT6LhBBYs>

Warning: you will want to listen the whole podcast after listening to this and it takes time.
