Title Periodical collection of the al-Aqsa Mosque Library
(1874-1955) (1874-1955)
Physical Characteristics Some of the images are difficult to read
due to the poor condition of the originals, some of which suffer
from mould and insect damage, water damage, staining, creasing and
tearing. In some images the original material has been obscured
during the digitisation process.
Scope and Content This collection comprises digital images of
original periodicals held by the al-Aqsa Mosque Library in East
Jerusalem. The collection consists of 13 newspapers and 11
magazines published mainly in Palestine, but also in Syria and
Turkey, between 1874 and 1955. The publications cover a range of
historical and contemporary topics including politics, science,
literature, cultural issues, Islam, education and economics.
The periodicals are predominantly written in Arabic although one
publication, Tasvir-i efkar, is written in Turkish. French and
English do appear occasionally as footnotes, annotations, or part
of advertisements.
Due to the political and economic environment in which these
periodicals were created, publications were often suspended for
short and long periods of time, and in many cases the al-Aqsa
Mosque Library does not hold every issue of a publication. This
means that scope dates do not always give detailed enough
information, and so are often elaborated on within the series
description.
Arrangement The material has been grouped into Magazines and
Newspapers, and each title forms a separate series

Physical Characteristics Some of the images are difficult to read

damage and staining.
Scope and Content This series contains digital copies of 6 bound
volumes of the monthly literary magazine al-Muqtabas, covering 71
issues from 1907-1913.
Prior to deposit with the al-Aqsa Mosque Library the issues were
bound into volumes, each containing a years' publications starting
with February; these volumes were donated to the Kulliyah al
Salahiyah by Muhammad Kurd Ali, and the front page of each volume
bears the annotation "Donation to the Kulliyah al-Salahiyah in
Jerusalem from the founder of al-Muqtabas", with a date and a
signature. The al-Aqsa mosque library holds volumes two to seven,
but does not hold any issues for the year 1906.
al-Muqtabas ('Acquired Learning') was established by Muhammad Kurd
Ali in 1906, and originally published in Cairo. In 1908 the
magazine transferred to Damascus, where publication continued until
1917. The magazine subtitle reflects these changes in location: its
subtitle up to 1909 was "A literary, scientific and social magazine
published every Arab month in Cairo"; following the move this
changed to "It investigates teaching and education, society,
economics, literature, history, antiquities, language, home
arrangements, books, Arab civilisation and Western
civilisation."
The original issues were published individually on paper, measuring
24 x 15 cm
Prior to deposit with the Al-Asqa Mosque Library the monthly issues

Title al-Arab (1933-1934) (1933-1934)
Scope and Content This series contains digital images of 23 issues
of al-'Arab, a weekly news magazine. The magazine was published
between 1932 and 1934. The al-Aqsa Mosque Library holdings start in
June 1933, and do not provide total coverage.
The publications for 15 July 1933 and 25 November 1933 actually
consist of two issues published as one edition; this is why 23
issues have been represented in 21 electronic folders.
The magazine was considered to be a supporter of the Supreme
Islamic Council in Palestine, and served as the periodical of the
Arab al-Istiqlal ('Independence') party. Its subtitle was "An
illustrated weekly investigating the affairs of the Arab and
Islamic worlds", reflecting the fact that the magazine had
reporters in several major Arab cities, including Cairo, Damascus
and Baghdad.
The originals were printed on paper, measuring 30 x 50cm, and 23 x
50 cm.
Each file represents a published issue, arranged chronologically by
date of publication.

Scope and Content The series contains digital images of three
volumes consisting of 33 issues of al-asn', a monthly women's
magazine.

French subtitle '(La Belle) Revue Feminine Morale Sociale'
translates as 'a women's ethical and social magazine'. Each volume
has been signed by Georges Nicolas Baz, and bears a dedication to
the al-Aqsa Mosque Library. The magazine was noted for often
containing photographs of famous European women.
The original publications were printed on paper, measuring 22 x 15

Title al-Zahrah (1922-1926) (1922-1926)
Physical Characteristics Some of the images in this series are
difficult to read, due to the poor condition of the originals.
Problems include faint or faded text, apparent mould and water
damage, and staining.
Scope and Content The series contains digital images of 51 issues
of the magazine al-Zahrah, covering 1922-1926. al-Zahrah was
published twice a month, but due to political and economic
contingencies two issues were often published as one; for this
reason, the 51 issues are spread across 38 physical publications,
and are represented here in 38 electronic folders.
al-Zahrah ('Flower' or 'Venus') was published in Haifa by Jamil
al-Bahri, as a "literary, novelistic, ethical, historical and
humour magazine." Each issue contains a literary section with
stories published in installments. Page numbers for these sections
differ from the numbering for the rest of the magazine, allowing
readers to easily follow stories as they continued through
different issues. Issue numbers are given on the cover of each
issue, however there is no discernable pattern to the issue number
sequences, and they can return to issue one at seemingly random
intervals.
al-Zahrah was published from 1921-1927. The al-Aqsa Mosque library
holdings only cover the period May 1922 - March 1926. al-Zahrah
developed from Zahrat al-Jamil ('the Flower of the Beautiful')
magazine, and in 1927 changed title, to become al-Zuhour
('Flowers').
Issues were originally published on paper, measuring 23 x 15
cm
Although intended to be published twice a month, economic and
political circumstances meant that two issues were occasionally
published in the same physical edition. This means that 51 issues
were published as 35 publications, and this arrangement is
reflected in the catalogue.
