Subject:Arabic Words of Latin Origin

Dear Richard,
A place to start will be Arthur Jeffery, The Foreign Vocabulary of the  
Quran (Baroda, 1938) under the index for Latin words.  The original  
printing is not widely available, but Gorgias Press has recently  
published a reprint.
In addition, you will profit to go through Ahmed Irhayem Hebbo's  
Heidelberg dissertation, Die Fremdwörter in der arabischen  
Prophetenbiographie des ibn Hischam (1970); the book unfortunately has  
no index.  Finally, although S. Fraenkel's study deals specifically  
with words in Arabic of Aramaic origin, you will find some discussions  
of Latin connections there too: Die aramäischen Fremdwörter im  
Arabischen (Leiden, 1886).  There is no index for Latin words, but  
there is one for Greek words, and no small number of Latin words that  
occur in Arabic probably came through Greek.
I hope that helps!
Adam McCollum
