Al-Jinan (Arabic: الجنان, romanized: al-jinān, meaning "The Gardens") was an Arabic-language political and literary bi-weekly magazine established in Beirut by Butrus al-Bustani and active between 1860[1] and 1886.[2][3] Written largely by Butrus' son Salim, "it finally ceased to appear because of the growing difficulties of writing freely under the rule of Abdülhamid."[4]
It was the first important example of the kind of literary and scientific periodicals which began to appear in the 1870s in Arabic alongside the independent political newspapers.[4]
