History and profile[edit]

Revue du monde musulman was launched in Paris in 1906.[1] The first issue appeared in November that year.[2] The magazine was founded by the Mission Scientifique au Maroc which was established by the French in Tangier.[3] The publisher of Revue du monde musulman was Ernest Leroux.[1] Its editor was Alfred Le Chatelier who was also instrumental in the establishment of Revue du monde musulman.[2] The magazine mostly covered articles on the developments and social and educational situation in the Muslim countries.[2]

The contributors were mainly French scholars who studied Islam, but Muslim authors also contributed to Revue du monde musulman.[2] From 1911 the board of editors included L.

Revue du monde musulman was in circulation until 1926.[1][5] Its successor was Revue des études islamiques which was started in 1927.[2]
