About this book

This volume provides an analysis of a famous medieval Arabic grammatical text, al-Ājurrūmiya (c. 1300), as commented on by aš-Šhirbīnī (d. 1570). This edition includes the original text and a translation into English, as well as extensive comments and annotations, with the aim of making accessible both to Arabists and non-Arabists the main elements of indigenous Arabic linguistics, and thereby at least partially filling a large blank in the history of linguistics.

Reviews

Khalil I. Semaan, in the Journal of the American Oriental Society, 1983:
Indispensible not only to English speaking students of its subject but to native Arab linguists as well.
