Information on the Christian communities of the Maghreb after the Arab conquest is extremely rare. Christian sources are even more exceptional, whether they come from native populations (funerary epigraphy) or give evidence of relations with European Christian. Their geographic and chronological distribution brings up the question of their production and conservation, a necessary condition for their valid interpretation. They especially shed light on communities in the tenth and eleventh centuries, at the time that they begin to disappear. Despite this weakness, they demonstrate the persistence of Latin and organizational frameworks, as well as strong links with Roman Christianity.
