📌 Who is Ahmed Amin – the publisher of the house?
Mr. Ahmed Amin was the Chairman of the Board of the Academic Library for Printing and Publishing. According to a press obituary, he passed away after a long career in the fields of thought and publishing. He played a role in printing and publishing encyclopedias and historical and intellectual books related to Egyptian and Arab history.
📌 This Ahmed Amin should not be confused with the well-known thinker and man of letters Ahmed Amin (1886–1954), a prominent historical figure in Arab culture. It is therefore important to distinguish between the two to avoid confusion of names.
