Abstract:
Kamal S. Salibi is primarily renowned for his monumental contributions to the history of Lebanon. Yet, his scholarly legacy extends well beyond Lebanon to topics that span the Middle East from biblical to contemporary times. This collection of papers, written by leading local and international historians in Dr. Salibi's honor and memory, similarly cover a range of subjects that touch upon his own interests—aspects of ancient, medieval, and modern Arabic-Islamic and Middle Eastern history, literature, and art. This series of articles by leading local and international historians tackles subjects and areas related to the work of Salibi and the fields he has contributed to expanding, ranging from Lebanese history, to Biblical studies, Islamic studies, and beyond.
