Catalogue Note
La princesse Zainab Nazli Khanum Effendi (1853 – 1913) est une princesse égyptienne de la dynastie de Muhammad Ali et l'une des premières femmes à raviver la tradition des salons littéraires dans le monde arabe, dans son palais du Caire au début des années 1880 et jusqu'à sa mort. Elle passe sa jeunesse à Istanbul où elle reçoit une éducation rarement accordée aux femmes de son époque. Elle parlait six langues dont le turc, l'arabe, le français, l'italien et l'allemand. Mariée à l'ambassadeur de Turquie Halil Sherif Pacha elle vécut brièvement à Paris. Après la mort de son mari, elle s'installa au Caire dans un palais qui accueillit des soirées mondaines et des intellectuels devenus ses amis.
