"La médersa historique Sbaiyin à Fès s'est faite pillée en août 2008", information portée par Bonnie Kaplan, Consultante de conservation, comme le précise un message adressé à notre blog. (Information confirmée).
"In August 2008, the smallest of the seven Merinid Madrassas in Fez, the Sbaiyin Madrassa, was pillaged. The thieves made off with its 14th-century marble fountain plaque and the massive sculpted beams surrounding its tiny patio. While dismembering these beams with a saw, the culprits induced the collapse of the upstairs galleries. According to the local Historical Monuments Inspector for the Ministry of Culture, several days later, the thieves brazenly returned in broad daylight for the slender marble columns. This time, they were interrupted by neighbors, leaving behind the columns they had broken into pieces for easy transport. A police report was filed with photos of the lost articles, but neither the criminals nor the architectural pieces have been found.".
