Al Nafais Al Asriyyah ⁨ (Arabic: النفائس العصرية; al-Nafais al-'Asriyya; The Modern Treasures), simply Al Nafais, was a literary and political magazine which was published between 1908 and 1923. It was founded, published and edited by the Palestinian writer Khalil Beidas and was the most read literary periodical published in Palestine under the Ottomans.[1]

History and profile

Al Nafais Al Asriyyah was launched by Khalil Beidas in 1908.[2][3] The magazine was headquartered in Haifa, but it was moved to Jerusalem in 1910.[4] It was modeled on other Arabic magazines, including Al Muqtataf and Al Hilal, but Beidas also designed Al Nafais using the features of the Russian literary journals such as Sovremennik and Russkii Vestnik.[4] In the early years it was a literary magazine which covered the translations of Russian literary works into Arabic.[2] Beidas and Iskandar Al Khuri Al Beitjali translated these texts which were published in the magazine.[5] Immediately after the Russian revolution in 1917 it began to contain political material.[2] Throughout its lifetime the publication frequency of Al Nafais changed from weekly to biweekly and then to monthly.[3]

Al Nafais folded in 1923 after producing 117 issues.[2][3] It was replaced by another publication entitled Al Ikha which was established by Salim Qub'ayn in Cairo.[2]
