The Hundred Rules of Syntax or Mi’at’al-amil by Abd a’-Quahir al-Jurjani. Grammatica Arabica dicta Gjarumia. / With Latin translation and annotated by T. Erpenius, Leidae, ex typ. Erpeniana 1617, (8)+157+(2) pp. Text in Arabic and Latin. With manuscript notes. Works by Thomas Erpenius (1584-1624), the first professor Arabic in Leiden University. His commentary in Latin on the Ajurrumiyah, a highly influential medieval Arabic grammar by Moroccan scholar Ibn Ajurrum (died 1327), and the Mi’at ‘amil (“hundred rules) of Abd al-Qadir al-Jurjani (died 1078). The Ajurrumiyah is “the most widely used primer in the whole history of Arabic Grammar” and inspired countless epitomes and commentaries, of which Erpenius’s edition was especially important: the first edition, published at Rome in 1592, was printed entirely in Arabic so “was by no means easily accessible to European scholars unfamiliar with Arabic linguistic terminology” (Vrolijk & van Leeuwen, Arabic Studies in the Netherlands, p. 32).
