Description

Diary of Hanna Gaith (Juan Gait) who was from the town of Yabroud, Syria. The diary has 176 pages. In its first 24 pages Hanna wrote about the history of Yabroud and its "Christian inhabitants." (Although at the time he wrote this, two-thirds of the town's inhabitants were Muslim). Starting at page 25, and for the next hundred pages, he narrates his own childhood, education, ecclesiastical intrigues, and the politics of the Melkite Catholic church to which his family belonged. He dedicates the remainder of the diary to the story of his migration from Yabroud to La Cumbre, Argentina with details about the journey, and his initial commercial endeavors upon arrival in Argentina.
