Abstract:

In "The distinctive terminology in Šarḥ al-Kāfiya by Raḍī l-Dīn
al-ʾAstarābāḏī" Beata Sheyhatovitch presents a structured and systematic study
of a seminal treatise in the medieval Arabic linguistic tradition. The
treatise’s author, al-ʾAstarābāḏī (d. circa 1289), is widely considered the
most brilliant grammarian of the later classical period. The author's analysis
of his terminology reveals the extent of his originality, and of the influence
that other Islamic sciences (logic, jurisprudence, theology) had on his
writings. 

The book is innovative in its comprehensiveness and its unique approach, which
uses texts from various medieval Islamic disciplines in clarifying the
terminology. It provides scholars and ordinary readers with tools for a deeper
understanding of al-ʾAstarābāḏī as well as other medieval Arab grammarians.
