Solomon Negima

Solomon Negima was a Palestinian dragoman active in Palestine, Syria, and Egypt from the mid-1880s until his death in 1933. He is known primarily through a testimonial book compiled by his clients and analysed by historian Rachel Mairs in From Khartoum to Jerusalem: The Dragoman Solomon Negima and His Clients (1885–1933). His career is typical of the role of local intermediaries in the expanding tourist and pilgrimage economy of the late Ottoman eastern Mediterranean.
