| | The Maronite Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | The creation of an encyclopedia, a major scholarly achievement, is not the first unique of this type. |
 | | It follows the French and English versions of the Islamic Encyclopedia, the Palestinian Encyclopedia, the Coptic Encyclopedia, the Encyclopedia Judaïca, and the St. Thomas Christian Encyclopedia of Kerala, India, among others. |
 | | They were started because of unfair taxes, by conscription of the Walis (governors), and by the national consciousness favored and nurtured by the Maronites who graduated from the Maronite College in Rome. |
