al-Maǧalla as-Sūriyā
1926-1929
The historical and literary exile magazine al-Majalla as-Suriya was published monthly in Cairo between 1926 and 1929 in a total of 34 issues. It was founded by the priest Bulus Qarʾali and was, as Thomas Philipp mentioned, „probably the last specifically Syrian attempt to start a new periodical in Egypt“. Al-Majalla as-Suriya functioned as the organ of the Syrian Christian communities in Egypt. In 1930 the magazine was transferred to Lebanon where it appeared under the name al-Majalla al-Batriyarkiya.
