Abstract:
Known as al-naḥda al-ʿarabiyya (the Arab renaissance), the period between the last quarter
of the nineteenth century and the eve of the First World War was characterized by
momentous economic and socio-political changes in Arab regions, including reforms in
urbanization, industrialization, commercialization, and the growing popularity of ideas
about nationhood. […] Although the regional significance of the Arab press during the late
1800s is well recognized, the press’s earlier history was also a transformative moment in
book production, one where nascent printing practices interfaced with centuries-old scribal
ones.1
