Notes ''Ḥuqūq Ṭabʻihi Thānīyat wa-tarjamatihi rājiʻtan lil-Muʼallif.''---title page. - ''Ṭubiʻa bi-al-rukhṣah wa-al-mukāfaʼah min Majlis al-Maʻārif al-Kabīr, Dār al-Saʻādah al-ʻIlmiyah''.----title page, EI2: "It constituted the first historical work written on Syria as a well-defined entity by a native Arab historian. Its importance lies in the manner it deals with Maṭar’s country as one single cultural and territorial unit. Thus Syria ceases to be a collection of Ottoman administrative units, and becomes a fatherland (waṭan) extending from the Taurus mountains in the north and the Sinai Peninsula in the south, and from the Euphrates in the east and the Mediterranean in the west. This fatherland is then shown to be endowed with an Arab national identity and an inherent capacity to acquire the new achievements of European civilisation. However, Syrian patriotism figures in this respect as an integral part of the wider movement of Ottomanism. Maṭar’s book is dedicated to the well-known Ottoman historian Aḥmed Ḏj̲ewdet Pas̲ẖa (1822-95 [q.v.]), whom he met during his visit to Istanbul in 1874. This visit was undertaken in order to obtain his degree in pharmacy and secure the authorisation of the Ottoman Ministry of Education to publish his history. After this date, Maṭar became Ḏj̲ewdet’s protégé, acting as his son’s tutor, assistant and adviser. It was also upon Ḏj̲ewdet’s encouragement that Maṭar qualified as a medical doctor and became a practising lawyer. He taught both medicine and law in Istanbul, while co-editing at the same time a legal journal, al-Ḥuḳūḳ." - Youssef M. Choueiri
