Al-Machriq (Arabic: المشرق ALA-LC: Al-Mashriq 'The East') was a journal founded in 1898 by the Jesuit and Chaldean Catholic priest Louis Cheikho, and published by Jesuit fathers of Saint Joseph University in Beirut (modern-day Lebanon).[1] The subtitle was Revue Catholique Orientale. Sciences, Lettres, Arts. Cheikho edited Al-Bashir in addition to Al-Machriq.[2] Al-Machriq played a significant role in reviving classical Arabic.[3] It extensively dealt with the rapport between the Maronites and the Marada, two Christian groups living in the region.[4] In the initial phase the magazine also featured literary work.[5] It had run through 72 volumes by 1998.
