From correction to realization

This book This study traces the transformations that occurred in the methods of publishing Arabic texts from the mid-19th century to the early decades of the 20th century AD, and examines - by focusing on the publishing world in Cairo - some of the main political, cultural, and technological conditions that contributed to guiding editorial choices and defining their techniques, and clarifies the faces of continuity and images of interruption that marked the traditional way of publishing Islamic Arabic texts, and attempts to identify the impact left by European philological and historical studies during the 19th century. The study pays special attention to studying the renewal that found its way into the style of publishing, the form of the text, and research patterns over a century.
