Prior to Dr. Kamil J. Asali's passing away, a committee was formed from Jerusalemite institutions in Amman and the University of Jordan to present him a Festschrift on occasion of his 70th birthday. But fate wanted him to pass away before the work was finalized. These essays are in memory of him and were written by distinguished Arab and international scholars. The aim is to honour his outstanding achievements as well as his continuous efforts in historical research for the benefit of Jerusalem and its Arab-Islamic heritage.
