Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi Press (مطبعة مصطفى البابي الحلبي)
Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi Press (مطبعة مصطفى البابي الحلبي ; 1859 - c. 1985) was a prominent publisher based in Cairo. The firm was founded in Cairo in 1859 as the al-Maymaniyya Press (المطبعة الميمنية) by Ahmed al-Halabi (أحمد الحلبي ; d. 1898), an immigrant from Syria. As al-Halabi had no sons, he asked for his nephews to travel from his hometown of al-Bab, near Aleppo, to join him in the publishing business. When Ahmed al-Halabi died in 1898, he was succeeded by Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi (مصطفى البابي الحلبي), presumably a nephew. The firm maintained the name al-Maymaniyya Press until 1919, when it was merged with Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi's other publishing house, Dar Ihya' al-Kutub al-Arabiyya (دار إحياء الكتب العربية) which had been founded by by Isa al-Babi al-Halabi (عيسى البابي الحلبي). The new company was called Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi and Sons Bookstore and Printing House (شركة مكتبة ومطبعة مصطفى البابي الحلبي وأولاده). The company was among the most prominent Egyptian publishers of the early-mid 20th century, specializing in religious works, such as al-Tabari's Qur'anic exegeses and Al-Ghazali's The Revival of Religious Sciences.
Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi Press is also known as: مطبعة مصطفى البابي الحلبي
