There are great books re Africans in Roman period, and the Renaissance and onwards - but I want to know about 15th c! (2/2)

There's more on literary refs etc, but seems less on history—fwiw, I gathered some evidence here: https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/753581643538042880 … :)

before the arab conquests?

Very possibly either before or as result? Hadrian certainly thought to have left N Africa in wake of them
-
there were North African (and Syrian) RC Popes so North African monks is not really unlikely
-
possibly Copts?
-
I wouldn't have thought so in Ely
-
you never know - but there were obviously numerous monistaries in NA at the time
#thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter -
Copts weren't in communion with the Roman Church in the C7th (or since) - so its unlikely
