Abstract

The historiography of the European press in Egypt immediately shows the crucial role played by the French and Italian languages. It is a very diversified press, which represents a documentary source of historical and cultural value, because it helps us to better reconstruct the history of foreign communities, particularly the European ones, their relations with Egypt over the last two centuries.
