In a distinguished academic and cultural atmosphere, Al-Zaytuna University for Science and Technology hosted a book launch for “Jerusalem in the Mamluk Era: History and Architecture,” authored by the prominent Palestinian historian, Professor Nazmi Amin Al-Jubeh, one of the leading academic voices defending Jerusalem’s history and identity.

This event honored Dr. Al-Jubeh’s prolific academic career, during which he has authored dozens of books and research papers that have become essential references in the study of Jerusalem and Palestine’s history. The launch of this book marks a new milestone in his career, shedding light on a significant period in the history of the Holy City during the Mamluk era through a meticulous and in-depth study of its history and architecture.

Dr. Al-Jubeh was born in Jerusalem in 1955 and received his early education in its prestigious schools before pursuing his academic studies at Birzeit University. He later went to Germany, where he earned his master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Tübingen. He subsequently dedicated his life to teaching, scientific research, and the management of cultural institutions, most notably the Haram al-Sharif Museum and the Riwaq Center for Architectural Heritage.

This ceremony is a tribute to a symbol of Palestinian knowledge and culture, and to his exceptional contributions to the preservation of heritage and history.

Our deepest gratitude and appreciation go to Dr. Nazmi Al-Jubeh for his immense efforts, and we wish him continued success and further contributions.
