Librairie du Liban Publishers Information

Librairie du Liban, Beirut, Lebanon, was founded on 15th September, 1944, as a bookseller and distributor of Longman publications. In 1969, Librairie du Liban decided to enter the field of publishing dictionaries for the world market. The first works were reprints of the famous "Muhit-ul-Muhit", "Lane's Arabic/English Lexicon," and "Qutur-al-Muhit". The commercial success of the new venture and the ambition to become world-wide publishers of dictionaries have encouraged the elaboration of further publishing schemes to develop new lexicographical works of the greatest importance to students, schools, colleges, institutes, libraries and general readers. The lexicographers affiliated to Librairie du Liban worked on famous series of dictionaries such as Al Mughni, Al Kamel, Khatib's Scientific and Technical Terms, Hitti's Medical Dictionary, Abdel Massih's Lughat al'Arab, Wahba's dictionaries and other Arabic lexicographical works, and the series of Arabic and Islamic terminology encyclopedias. Over 600 dictionaries (monolingual, bilingual and multilingual) and over 2000 books from children to general books are enlisted in this website which Librairie du Liban Publishers presents with great confidence.
