See Robert Darnton, “Google & the Future of Books,” New York Review of Books (). . A note on the transliteration of Arabic names in this book: for the sake of consistency I have chosen commonly used versions of the time, despite the inaccuracies involved , since regional pronunciations of Arabic vary markedly, surnames were frequently invented on arrival in France, and first names were often Gallicized, or new ones invented . By the second generation, these French names were clearly used on almost all occasions and even transliterated back into Arabic, as, for example, “Josef” rather than “Yousef.” .
