Between 1898 and 1906, the Arabic periodical aḍ-Ḍiyāʾ (Arabic: Illumination) was published twice a month in Cairo.[1][2] There are eight year's issues with 24 numbers each (first to third year), resp. 20 numbers each (fourth to eighth year). Its founder and editor in chief was Ibrahīm al-Yāziǧī,[3] a linguist and journalist from Lebanon,[2] who on his readers’ request published aḍ-Ḍiyāʾ in succession to his earlier periodical al-Bayān (1897–1898). As regards content, it had the same agenda as al-Bayān.[4] The subtitle of the periodical underlines this aspiration: “maǧallat ʿilmīya adabīya ṣaḥīya ṣanāʿīya“ (“a scientific, literary, sanitary and industrial journal”). It was one of the early magazines in Cairo which featured short stories.[5] Alongside countless scientific and literary topics, articles on the development of newspapers in Egypt at that time are also to be found (cf. i. a. 1st year, 1st issue).[6]
A complete and free available digital version[7] of this journal can be found in the digital collections[8] of the ULB Bonn.
