In a region where presses were still not prevalent, letterpress-printed and lithographed works circulated within a larger network that was dominated by manuscript production. In this book, Hala Auji analyzes the American Press publications as important visual and material objects that provide unique insights into an era of changing societal concerns and shifting intellectual attitudes of Syria?s Muslim and Christian populations. Contending that printed books are worthy of close visual scrutiny, this study highlights an important place for print culture during a time of an emerging Arab modernity. 410 0$aArts and archaeology of the Islamic world ;$vVolume 7. 606 $aPublishers and publishing 606 $aPublishers and publishing$zLebanon$zBeirut 607 $aBeirut (Lebanon)$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 0$aPublishers and publishing. 615 0$aPublishers and publishing 676 $a070.5 700 $aAuji$b Hala$01707462 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808773603321 996 $aPrinting Arab modernity$94095706 997 $aUNINA
