The study of the Middle East and Islam at New York University has a long and distinguished history which may well have begun with the university’s founding in 1831. It is known that by 1837 the faculty included both a professor of Arabic, Syriac, Persian and Ethiopic, and a professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages; courses were offered in Arabic, Persian, biblical and rabbinic Hebrew, Chaldaic and Syriac. The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Literatures (NELL) was established in 1966; the late Professor R. Bayly Winder served as the department’s first chair.
Lovely just what I was searching for. Thanks to the author for
taking his time on this one.
Some really nice stuff on this internet site,
I enjoy it.
I every time used to read post in news papers but now aas I am a user of internet therefore from now I am
using net for articles, thanks to web.
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both
educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
