Editing Aleppo (section)

=== Modern-day English ===

The adoption of '''“Aleppo”''' into English likely coincided with the [[Crusades]] (11th–13th centuries) and subsequent increased trade and travel between Europe and the Middle East. By the late 14th to early 15th centuries, the term '''Aleppo''' was well-established in English literature and travel accounts.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Riley-Smith |first=Jonathan Simon Christopher |title=The crusades: a history |date=2005 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=978-0-300-10128-7 |edition=2nd |location=Yale}}</ref>

The earliest documented use of “Aleppo” in English occurs in translations of medieval texts and chronicles, such as the travel writings of [[Marco Polo]], where the city is mentioned as a key trading hub. Additionally, it was featured in maps and documents produced during the [[European Renaissance]] as a center of commerce on the [[Silk Road]].<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Polo |first1=Marco |title=The travels of Marco Polo: the complete Yule-Cordier edition; in 2 vol.
