The Almohads worked to suppress the influence of the [[Maliki school]] of fiqh, even publicly burning copies of ''[[Muwatta Imam Malik]]'' and Maliki commentaries. They sought to disseminate ibn Tumart's beliefs; he was the author of the ''[[Aʿazzu Mā Yuṭlab]]'', the ''Counterpart of the Muwatta'' ({{Lang|ar|محاذي الموطأ}}), and the ''Compendium of [[Sahih Muslim]]'' ({{Lang|ar|تلخيص صحيح مسلم}}).<ref name=":8">{{Cite video|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=797&v=wWhtM9RzLJY&feature=emb_logo|title=The Ideological Power of Some Almohad Illuminated Manuscripts|date=Feb 8, 2018|last=Bongianino|first=Umberto|type=Lecture|language=en}}</ref>

Literary production continued despite the Almohad reforms's devastating effect on cultural life in their domain. Almohad universities continued the knowledge of preceding Andalusi scholars as well as ancient Greek and Roman writers; contemporary literary figures included [[Averroes]], [[Hafsa bint al-Hajj al-Rukuniyya]], [[ibn Tufayl]], [[ibn Zuhr]], [[ibn al-Abbar]], [[ibn Amira]] and many more poets, philosophers, and scholars. The abolishment of the [[dhimmi]] status of religious minorities further stifled the once flourishing [[Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain]]; [[Maimonides]] went east and many Jews moved to Castillian-controlled [[Toledo, Spain|Toledo]].

According to the research of [[Muhammad al-Manuni]], there were 400 paper mills in Fes under the reign of Sultan [[Yaqub al-Mansur]] in the 12th century.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HzepO2Z_i4wC&q=manouni+morocco+manuscripts&pg=PA36|title=ذخائر مخطوطات الخزانة الملكية بالمغرب: (Bibliothèque al-Hassania)|last=Sijelmassi|first=Mohamed|date=1987|publisher=www.acr-edition.com|isbn=978-2-86770-025-5|language=fr}}</ref>
