عن الكتاب
This collection was made in Ras al-Matn, a small village in the district of Matn to the East of Beirut. It is a predominantly Druze village and more and more is becoming a religious center for Druzedom. The primary source from which they were gleaned is the people’s daily conversation. Those who insist, in historic and scientific work, upon documentation and citation will be disappointment in finding nothing of this sort in this work. Nevertheless, we believe that living men and women are the best authentic source for collecting proverbs, determining their true pronunciation and meaning.
