Al-Machriq (Arabic: The East) was a journal founded in 1898 by Jesuit and Chaldean priest Louis Cheikhô, published by Jesuit fathers of Saint Joseph University in Beirut, 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.
