history of the Boulaq printing press and a glimpse into the history of printing in the countries of the Middle East

The art of printing in Egypt, a unique history, especially the Boulaq printing press, which many did not pay attention to due to the causal link between it and the renaissance of Egypt in the modern era. It is strange that the little attention he received came from some foreigners.
