Timbuktu was:

C.) a center of learning [peaked in the 15th and 16th centuries]

An influx of trade in the 13th and 14th centuries led to the city holding significant wealth and to be home to a vast variety of knowledge. Timbuktu was a center of book and knowledge trading (esp. Islamic knowledge) between the 13th and 17th Century.
