Al-Mathaf

The Egyptian weekly magazine al-Mathaf (Arabic: المتحف; DMG: al-Matḥaf; "The Museum") was owned and published by Yaʿqūb Nawfal and Qusṭanṭīn Nawfal in Alexandria in 1894. 1 Despite its name, it had nothing to do with artifacts. It describes itself as a news magazine that provides information on science, economics and fine arts.
