by Hebrew University
orientalist Prof. Gabriel

Egypt from the 18th to the

published by the New Lib-
erty Library of Cairo's Ein

tory of Modern Egypt," was

Dr. Abd Al Khaleq Lashin,
lecturer in social history at
Ein Shams University. It
was originally published in'

Chicago Press in 1969.
Another book by Prof..

Egypt 1800-1950," is about
to be published in Cairo as

The bibliography of the
book on the social history
of Egypt identifies three
other works by Prof.

Society in Jerusalem.

Egyptian land ownership
and guild history are exten-

scholars — and his research
in another field of interest

lished in Iraq. The Novem-
ber, 1978 issue of the
