Biographical Notes
Obituary. Rev. Abdullah Yazbeck, Sydney Morning Herald, 1 April 1933, p 17, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16964097:
The Rev. Father Abdullah Yazbeck, pastor of St. Maroun's Church, Elizabeth-street, Redfern, died yesterday at the Lewisham Private Hospital.
Father Yazbeck was a priest of the Syrian Maronite Rite, which has a following of about 3500 in Australia. He was born at Amchut, Mount Lebanon, and was educated at the Patriarch's College, where he took special honours in ancient Egyptian and Syrian history. He was also recognised as an authority in the Moslem religion. In a recent interview, Father Yazbeck said they prided themselves on the manner in which they had kept their ancient Aramaic inheritance intact.
The funeral will leave St Maroun's Church at 2 p m to-day, for Rookwood Cemetery.
