Yaqub Sarruf (Arabic: يعقوب صروف, 1852–1927) was a pioneering Lebanese writer, publisher, and translator. Sarruf was born in Al-Hadath, Lebanon. His father sent him to the American School in Abey, then to the Syrian Protestant College where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1870. He later obtained a PhD from Cambridge.[1] After his graduation he assumed the presidency of the American Schools in Sidon and Tripoli. In 1876, he founded the monthly popular science magazine Al-Muqtataf with Faris Nimr in Beirut. He moved to Cairo in late 1884 where he continued publishing the magazine until his death in 1927.[2][3][4] Sarruf and Nimr were nominated for two of SPC's first honorary degrees in 1890, but they declined to attend the ceremony.[1]
