List of Publications of Magda El-Nowieemy

I've to record my admiration of what Prof. Dr. Magda El-Nowieemy are doing in her Academia.edu page. She is very active. Most recently she has put a list of her publications on the website. I do have a problem collecting material concerning academic publications of Egyptian and Arabic scholars of classics, but if all the Arabic scholars inside and outside Egypt followed the example of Magda El-Nowieemy, I would not have any problem at all. So, thanks you !

Her is the link to the file containing her publications: Publications-Magda-El-Nowieemy.

Latin Grammar by Mohamed Mahmoud el-Salamoni, Jack Joseph Cohen and Abdellatif Ahmed Ali (1948). The book was revised by the pioneer of Classical studies in Egypt Taha Husein and Mohamed Selim Salem The founder of the department in Ain Shams Univerisity.

As for Jack Joseph Cohen, I'm not sure if he is the same Jack Joseph Cohen who was born on March 21, 1919 in Brooklyn, New York. This Jack is said to be graduated from Brooklyn College in 1940. At The Jewish Theological Seminary he received a Doctor of Hebrew Letters in 1940, and rabbinic ordination in 1943. for more on this person, see this website of the JTS ( Jewish Theological Seminary Library, New Work) through this link.
