==History==
Davis established Cune Press in May 1994 in his native Seattle. Reportedly, Davis took his cue from Andre Schiffrin, the legendary New York editor and intellectual who ultimately left Pantheon to establish the New Press.
Davis financed Cune Press from the income of his private construction company. He was soon joined by founding “partners” Mamoun Sakkal (who was born in Aleppo) and Steven Schlesser as well as dozens of other volunteers. Sakkal was a well-known Arabic calligrapher in the Kufic style, and Schlesser was an independent historian.
The name Cune was derived from “cuneiform” a term that in Latin, means “wedge” (the shape of a stylus point in soft clay tablets). Cuneiform script was used by early Syrians—Phoenicians on the coast who developed the phonetic alphabet in their settlements near the current day city of Latakia.
