Translated from the German of Caspari and edited with numerous additions and corrections.
No other English-language grammar of the Arabic language is as comprehensive as this classic reference. The sine qua non resource for English-speaking students wishing to master the intricacies of Arabic, it has served as an indispensable aid for over a century. Although it is purely a reference grammar, it cites many examples of sentences, phrases, and figures of speech from the best classical Arabic prose and poetry.
