Abstract:
The collection of articles in this volume is dedicated to Ramzi Baalbaki of
the
American University of Beirut on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The
volume reflects the central themes of Ramzi Baalbaki's scholarly work:
history of Arabic grammar, Arabic lexicography, Arabic linguistics,
comparative Semitics, Arabic epigraphy, and textual editing of classical
texts. It provides intellectual, literary, and social historians, as well as
Arabists, philologists, and linguists with an interesting glimpse into the
early
medieval and modern traditions related to the Arabic language, its grammar,
historical development, and demonstrates its centrality to other fields of
study such as Qur'ānic studies, adab, folk literature, sufism, and poetry.
Contributors include: Nadia Anghelescu, Georgine Ayoub, Aziz Azmeh,
