Fr. Louis El-Feghaly was a distinguished kawal who was known for his timeliness, puns, accurate description, improvisation and sharpness in answering any kind of confrontation. He wrote all kinds of the zajal and used some Syriac tunes with it. His nickname was “the pioneer of zajal”, and this book includes a collection of his most beautiful poems.
