Samuel Lyde
Samuel Lyde (1825–1860) was an English writer and Church of England missionary who worked in Syria in the 1850s and wrote a pioneering book on the Alawite sect.

While on the "tour", he decided, because of his health, to settle permanently in Syria, then a part of the Ottoman Empire. While visiting Beirut, the British consul suggested to him that he could occupy his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
