Abstract
In this paper I explore practical aspects of intellectual interaction by considering the role that booksellers played in such transactions. I will focus on the trading of books in Fatimid Egypt considering in particular the reported biographies of a numbers of distinguished personalities. With the overall absence of the madrasa institution - unlike most parts of the medieval Islamic world -Fatimid Egypt represents a distinctive domain of enquiry.
