Search Results - Levant

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The Levant (pronounced /l?'vænt/) (Arabic ?, Bilad ash-Sham, also known as ?????? (Mashriq)) describes, traditionally, the Eastern Mediterranean at large, but can be used as a geographical term that denotes a large area in Western Asia formed by the lands bordering the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, roughly bounded on the north by the Taurus Mountains, on the south by the Arabian Desert, and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea, while on the east it extends towards the Zagros Mountains. The Levant includes the countries of Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and occasionally Cyprus and the Sinai. The UCL Institute of Archeology describes the Levant as the "crossroads of western Asia, the eastern Mediterranean and northeast Africa".[1]

The term Levant, which first appeared in English in 1497, originally meant a wider sense of "Mediterranean lands east of Venetia", as in French soleil levant "rising Sun" — from the verb lever, "to rise", from Latin levare "to raise". It thus referred to the Eastern direction of the rising Sun from the perspective of those who first used it and has analogues in other languages, notably Morgenland – or a closely related word meaning morning land – in most Germanic languages.

This is similar to the Ancient Greek name ??at???a (Anatolía), which means the "land of the rising Sun", or simply the East. It derives from ??at??? "the rise", especially "the sunrise", resp. from ??at???? = to rise, esp. said of the Sun or Moon (??? = up, above + t???? = to go, rise, come into existence). For the Greeks, ??at???a (Anatolía) is a synonym of ????? ?s?a (Mikrá Asía = Asia Minor), not of Levant, which is ?eß??te? (Levándes) in Modern Greek. Likewise, the Arabic term Mashriq, derived from the Arabic consonantal root sh-r-q (? ? ?), relating to "the east" or "the sunrise", refers to "the land where the Sun rises", and designates a broad area encompassing the Levant. However, the most equivalent historically used Arabic term for the Levant is the "Sham" (?????), now mostly used by Arabs in reference to Greater Syria; the same name "Sham" is also one of the Arabic names for Damascus.

The term became current in English in the 16th century, along with the first English merchant adventurers in the region English ships appeared in the Mediterranean in the 1570s and the English merchant company signed its agreement ("capitulations") with the Grand Turk in 1579 (Braudel).

2. CYPRUS PROPERTY
May 30, 2007

The island of Cyprus has been popular with western Europeans since the Crusades and before. Seeped in history Cyprus has always been a valuable part of the trade routes from the East to the West. Goods from exotic places were brought from the Levant to the island, being traded and sent to western countries. This relationship with history remains, with the Northern part of the island still being ruled by Turkey, whilst the rest of the island is very Greek in its Government and culture. The most popular Cyprus property is in the southern Greek part of the island, although increasing numbe... (read more)

3. History of Coffee: Part II - Spread of Coffee to Europe
January 28, 2006

It was not until 1615, that Europe was formally introduced to coffee. Venetian traders, who had strong trade links with the Levant (historical term referring to a large area of the Middle East incorporating the countries of: Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria), started to import coffee into Italy. Once in Europe, the consumption of coffee soon spread. However, the introduction of coffee into Europe was not without its controversy. According to many accounts, a group of Christian clerics tried to have coffee banned before it had become widely available. They came to Pope Clement VIII (1535-... (read more)
