Description:
State University of New York Press, 1988. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 23.5 x 15.5 cm. Octavo. 309pp. Bound in glossy boards. Light rubbing to the edges of the boards. "The author's analysis of the internecine strife and fierce clan rivalry rampant in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries puts into perspective the turmoil into which Lebanon has fallen today. This translation comprises the memoirs of several generations of the Mishaqa family. The author, Mikhayil Mishaqa (1800-1888), a many-faceted individual, was raised in Dayr al-Qamar, then the princely seat of Mount Lebanon, apprenticed as a merchant in Damietta, Egypt. He served as financial comptroller to the Shibhab emirs of Hasbayya and in his later years was a physician and consul to the United States in Damascus.
