Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution
We are Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution, an Egyptian publishing house located in Cairo – Egypt. Established in 1977 with a focus on distribution and few but carefully selected titles. In 2007 we decided to shift more to publishing and started with academic books then lately we added a new line which is translated literature, we care most about the quality of the work and we managed to present many foreign authors for the first time to the Arab readers such as Goncalo Tavares, Immanuel Mifsud, Reiner Englemann, Julian Fuks, Kelly James Clark and others, also we managed to publish the Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich (Chernobyl Prayer) 2015, Jo Nesbo and many others during the past few years. We would like to mention that prior to the publishing house, we established Al Thaqafa Al Jadeeda Bookshop in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) which was one of the first book shops in the country. We participate in almost all the Arab book fairs, and we have our books distributed in every Arab country through the major bookshop chains and local distributors.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2026Rodrigo Ximenez de Rada’s Minor Histories
by Aymenn Al-Tamimi
This work provides the first complete English translation of works by Toledan archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada (1170-1247 CE), whose 'Minor Histories' are sequels to his larger 'Gothic History' and thus round off his grand history of Spain project that he began at the request of King Ferdinand III. The 'Minor Histories' include Rodrigo's 'History of the Arabs' that can be considered the first surviving Western monograph focused on Arab and Islamic history and thus occupies a unique position in the medieval Latin corpus of writings. In addition to the translation, this book provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the life and works of Rodrigo, making sense of the context in which he wrote and his historical method. The translations are thoroughly annotated including cross-references to other Latin and Arabic sources for comparison.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The world of El Cid
Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest
by Simon Barton, Richard Fletcher
Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fascinating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes.

March 1985Die Eroberung Amerikas
Das Problem des Anderen
by Tzvetan Todorov, Wilfried Böhringer
"»Wenngleich jedes Datum, das zwei Epochen gegeneinander abgrenzen soll, immer willkürlich bleibt, so ist doch keines besser geeignet, den Beginn des modernen Zeitalters zu markieren, als das Jahr 1492, das Jahr, in dem Colón den Atlantischen Ozean überquert. Wir alle sind indirekte Nachkommen Colóns, mit ihm beginnt unsere Genealogie - sofern das Wort Beginn überhaupt einen Sinn hat. Seit 1492 sind wir, wie es Las Casas ausgedrückt hat, ›in dieser so neuen und keiner anderen vergleichbaren Zeit‹ (Historia de las Indias, I, 88*). Seit diesem Datum ist die Welt geschlossen (obwohl das Universum unendlich wird), ›die Welt ist klein‹, wie Colón selbst ganz erschieden feststellt (›Carta rarísima‹, 7. 7. 1503); die Menschen haben nun die Ganzheit entdeckt, deren Bestandteil sie sind, während sie bis dahin ein Teil ohne Ganzes waren. Dieses Buch soll ein Versuch sein, durch die Lektüre einiger Texte, deren Autoren meine Personen sein werden, zu verstehen, was an diesem Tag und im Verlauf des darauffolgenden Jahrhunderts geschehen ist.« (T. Todorov)"

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013Late Merovingian France
by Paul Fouracre, Richard A. Gerberding
This collection of documents in translation brings together the seminal sources for the late Merovingian Frankish kingdom. It inteprets the chronicles and saint's lives rigorously to reveal new insights into the nature and significance of sanctity, power and power relationships. The book makes available a range of 7th- and early 8th-century texts, five of which have never before been translated into English. It opens with a broad-ranging explanation of the historical background to the translated texts and then each source is accompanied by a full commentary and an introductory essay exploring its authorship, language and subject matter. The sources are rich in the detail of Merovingian political life. Their subjects are the powerful in society and they reveal the successful interplay between power and sanctity, a process which came to underpin much of European culture throughout the early Middle Ages.
