Biographical Sketch

George E. Post was born in 1838, in New York. He joined the City College of New

York where he earned his BA in 1854, his MA in 1857, and his MD in 1860. One year

later, he went on to earn his diploma in theology from the Union Theological Seminary

of the Presbyterians. In 1863, Dr. Post was sent to Syria, by the "American Board of

Commissioners for Foreign Missions”. Stationed in Tripoli, Post started practicing

medicine, and took up the study of Arabic. He joined the Syrian Protestant College

(SPC) in 1868 as professor of surgery. He played an important role in the foundation

of the School of Medicine at the SPC, and would later on become one of the pioneers

of anesthesia in the Arab world.

Post was a man of many talents and his skills spread over many different fields,

including medicine, botany, theology, and architecture. Not only did he teach and

practice surgery, specializing in the treatment of eye cataracts, but he also was a pioneer

in medical research, publishing articles in several journals and serving as the editor of

two medical journals, namely “ أخببب بببة ببب ببب ببب” (Medical News) and “ الببببببب ببب ببب” (the

Physician).Of all his talents, interests and skills, Botany was his favorite pursuit. As a

botanist, he contributed to the study of vegetation in the Middle East publishing two

seminal world, namely, the “Flora of the Middle East” [1884] and “Flora of Syria,

Palestine and Sinai” [1896] which became a reference in the field.

Post’s theological interests culminated with the production of the first Arabic

concordance of the Bible. His creative skills and interest in architecture and urban

planning drove him to design his own residences in Beirut and Aley, as well as several

buildings on the SPC campus, including Post Hall (The Museum Building) and the Old

Medical Building. To honor Post’s service and dedication to the SPC, the AUB museum

building was named after him.

Post was married to Sarah Read and had six children: Arthur, Robert, Alfreda, Bertram

Van Dyck, Francis and Wilfred. In 1896, he received an LLD from the University of

Aberdeen and the same honorary degree from New York University. The German

Government bestowed upon him the decorations of the Red Eagle and Knights of

Jerusalem; the Turkish Government gave him the "Order of Othmaniyeh" and he was

also honored by the Ducal House of Saxony. He passed away on September 29, 1909.
