Schnurrer, Bibliotheca Arabica, 95.
The first edition of this important Arabic grammar by Johannes Christian Clodius (1676-1745), professor of Arabic at Leipzig from 1724 onwards.
It is an enlarged version of his Compendium grammaticae arabicae, 1722, of which it features the first four elements: the basics of the language (with technical terms), three dialogues in the Arabic language of his time, two chapters of Genesis translated into Arabic by R. Saadia, and a discussion of the use of Arabic in theological exegesis. The fifth – a study of the book of Job – was added by the Arabist Johann Abraham Kromayer (1665-1733).
Provenance : Walter Fischer (signature on title) – some old pencil annotations on fly leaf and in the text.
