Synopsis

A Grammar of the Arabic Language is a detailed Arabic grammar tutorial, originally written in German by Carl Caspari and translated by British Orientalist William Wright. Often referred to today as Wright's Grammar, the second edition was altered and added to by Wright, and this third (and original final) edition was edited by famous Orientalists M.J. de Goeje and W. Robertson Smith. Wright consulted numerous Arabic sources when making additions and corrections to the work, and as such it is still useful today to students of the Arabic language. WILLIAM WRIGHT (1830-1889) was a British Orientalist and professor of Arabic at Cambridge University. His works are still researched and studied today by students of Arabic and Syriac. His most popular works remain A Grammar of the Arabic Language and the Short History of Syriac Literature. His writings are held today by the British Library and Cambridge University.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Second Edition of Wright sG rammar of the A rabic language had been out of print long before the death of its author, but he was never able to find the leisure necessary for preparing aN ewE dition. The demand for it having become more and more pressing, Prof. W, Robertson Smith, who well deserved the honour of succeeding toW rights chair, resolved to iderlake this task. He began it with his usual ardour, but the lesH which cut short his invaluable life soon interrupted the work. At his death S6 pages had been printed, whilst the revision had extended over 30 pages more. Robertson Smith had made use of some notes of mine, which he had marked with my initials, and it was for this reason among others that theS yndics of the Cambridge University Press invited me, through Ppof. Sevan, to continue the revision. After earnest deliberation I conseD ted, influenced chiefly by my respect for the excellent work of one of my dearest friends and by a desire to complete that which another dear friend had begun. Moreover Prof. Sevan promised his assistance in correcting theE diglish style and in seeing the book through the press. I have of course adhered to the method followed by Robertson Smith in that part of the Grammar which he revised. Trifling corrections and additions and such sueations as had already been made by A. Mtiller, Fleischer and other scholars, are given in square brackets. Only in those cases where it seemed necessary to take all the responsibility upon myself, have I added my initials. Besides the printed list of additions and corrections at the end of theS econd Volume.
