The Arabic Lexicographical Tradition: From the 2nd/8th to the 12th/18th Century

Autor Ramzi Baalbaki
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mar 2024
A comprehensive and methodologically sophisticated history of Arabic lexicography, this book fills a serious gap in modern scholarship. Besides meticulously examining the factors that led to the emergence of lexicographical writing as of the second/eighth century, the work comprises detailed discussions of the aims, range, and approaches of the most important writings and writers of lexica specialized in specific topics and multi thematic thesauri, and the lexica arranged according to roots. The organisation of the book and the lists of works cited in the various genres make it easy for the reader to find his way through an enormous amount of material. From a broader perspective, the book highlights the relationship between Arabic lexicography and other areas of linguistic study, grammar in particular, and the centrality of Qurʾan and poetry to lexicographical writing.

Recenzii

"Be that Baalbaki’s study on Mugannas, on Semasiological Lexica (from sign to meaning) and the contradiction with the mubawwab lexica (from meaning to sign) or the development of the Arabic language as a result of the conquests, readership of this a book naturally includes sociologists of language, anthropologists, ethnologists and theologians."
Stavros Nikolaidis in Journal of Oriental and African Studies 28 (2019)
"...eine willkommene und fundierte Ergänzung der Literatur über die arabische Lexikographie".
Vivian Strotmann in Die Welt des Islams 57 (2017) 227-229.

"This work will be extremely helpful for specialists, but it is also accessible to non-specialists, and does a wonderful job of expressing why Arabic lexicography is relevant and interesting even for those who do not speak Arabic. It allows readers to challenge their preconceptions about dictionaries and the kind of work that dictionaries do."
David Lennington in Al-Abhath 64 (2016)

"Ramzi Baalbaki, the very renowned researcher on the history of Arabic Language and Linguistics, after long years of extensive publication in the field, provides the reader with this seminal work on the Lexicographical Arabic tradition. It is indeed a milestone in the history of studies on the extremely rich tradition of Arabic Lexical works, as well as a good reference for everybody interested in discovering the subtleties and intricacies of the Arabic language. [...] This is definitely a solid piece of research, an impressive work that provides an invaluable service to researchers in the field of Arabic lexicography."
Ignacio Ferrando, Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes 105 (2015), 433-434.

"Obwohl der Inhalt dieser gehaltvollen Studie nur rudimentär dargestelt werden konnte, wird dem Leser nicht verborgen geblieben sein, dass B. ein grundlegendes Werk zu einem Teilbereich der arabischen Literaturgeschichte geschaffen hat, das hinsichtlich Klarheit der Darstellung, Materialreichtum und Zuverlässigkeit der Angaben nichts zu wünschen übrig lässt. Man darf es getrost als Jahrhundertwerk bezeichnen, denn die mannigfachen Beobachtungen und neuen Erkenntnisse, die der Autor für uns parat hält, werden auch in Jahrzehnten kaum überholt sein. Kurzum, die Leistung Baalbakis is gar nicht hoch genug zu schätzen und sollte uns allen ein Vorbild sein und gleichzeitig als Anspron dienen, die Erforschung der Geschichte der arabischen Lexikographie voranzutreiben".
Reinhart Weipert in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung, 110, 4/5 (2015).
