Dear all,

I am curious if there is any secondary (or even primary) information
written on the University of Damascus? I am aware of Abdulkerim Rafeq's
book on the University but I am particularly concerned with two issues:
the founding of the Sharia college as well as the history during the
1960s.

Any and all references are welcome.

Thank you!
Jawad.
