Joseph Hajjar

Joseph Hajjar (1923–2015) was a Syrian-born priest in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church who was particularly known for historical works covering the fortunes of Christians in the Levant, concentrating on the nineteenth century. Hajjar's interests, however, covered wider spheres, including the permanent synod in the patriarchate of Constantinople down to the eleventh century, church history in modern times also involving the European territories of the Ottoman Empire and the question of Christian ecclesiastical tribunals in the Muslim world including their suppression in Egypt.
