Description
Al-Kitab by Imam Sibawayhi, The Foundational Masterpiece of Arabic Grammar.
Regarded as the mother-book of Arabic grammar, Al-Kitab by Imam Sibawayhi is the first written work to codify the rules of Arabic when they were previously preserved only through oral tradition. This timeless masterpiece delves into all the sciences of the Arabic language, quoting the authentic expressions of the early Arabs and laying the foundation for generations of scholars to come.
This superb edition, presented in five meticulously verified volumes, is authenticated against the earliest available manuscripts and previous works of verification (taḥqīq).
A definitive reference for all later grammatical works, Al-Kitab remains essential reading for advanced students and scholars of Arabic grammar.
Hardback Egyptian print by Maktabah Al-Khanji.
