Summary
Updated 2026-08-21

Mikhail Mishaqa, or Michael Meshaka, was a Lebanese academic, diplomat and musician reputed to be the first historian of modern Ottoman Syria and the "virtual founder of the twenty-four equal quarter tone scale". His memoir of the 1860 Mount Lebanon and Damascus civil war is valuable to historians as the only account written by a survivor of the massacre of Syrian Christians in Damascus. In 1859, he was appointed vice-consul of the United States in Damascus.
