How did Malian people get Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman books?

All foreign knowledge that the Mali Empire acquired was brought in by Arab Muslim merchants from North Africa, because the North African Islamic Caliphates were the only literate civilization that the Malians had constant contact with. Concurrently, the Abbassid Caliphate in the Middle East had translated many Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman tomes into Arabic, so it is quite possible that some copies of these books made there to Mali through trade between North African Islamic Caliphates and the Abbassid Calipgate.
