His mother was an Armenian named Elizabeth Schams\u00e9, who took him on pilgrimage to the Holy Land when he was 9-years old.Early life[edit]In 1868, Cheikh\u00f4 joined his brother at the Maronite Jesuit Seminary in Ghaz\u00eer, Lebanon. At this date, the seminary was not merely preparing young men for the priesthood, but also acted as a secondary college for young Christian and especially Assyrian Chaldean men.  Both groups followed a similar syllabus.  There, he learned both ancient and modern European and Semitic languages.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1874, he entered the Jesuit Order and started his novitiate  training at Lons-le-Saunier, France. He adopted at that time the name of ‘Louis’ out of devotion for the young Jesuit saint Louis Gonzaga.In 1878, he returned to Lebanon and taught Arabic Literature at the Jesuit Saint Joseph College in Beirut for 10 years. During this period, Cheikho continued his studies of philosophy at Universit\u00e9 Saint-Joseph, Beirut.In 1888, Cheikho travelled to Great Britain for theological studies in preparation for the priesthood. He was ordained priest by the Chaldean Church of the East on 8 September 1891. He then spent one year in Austria and another year in Paris. Those extended European stays allowed him to acquire the academic methodologies that helped him in his later works.Finally in 1894, he settled in Beirut, Lebanon, where he continued his academic career at Universit\u00e9 Saint-Joseph.Cheikho died in Beirut, Lebanon in 1927.Cheikho is perhaps the founder of modern publications of unpublished Eastern Christian texts, especially Christian Arabic texts. He also founded, in 1898, the journal Al-Machriq, and contributed many articles and publications to its pages. In addition to Al Machriq Cheikho also edited another Jesuit publication, Al Bashir.[2]His work was an inspiration for CEDRAC.Famous Turkish poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy said that his work “Majani al-Adab” can be used in teaching Arabic.Les po\u00e8tes arabes chr\u00e9tiens.
