Qatr al-Nada (Arabic/English)

Qatr al-Nada (Arabic/English)

This translation of Ibn Hishām’s Qaṭr al-Nadā is a milestone of Arabic scholarship in English. The short, didactic work is not merely a text of Arabic grammar by a major imām of the late Arabic school, it is also an insight into how to think like a grammarian. The book’s title literally means ‘Drops of Dew and Wetting a Parched Throat’. Intended as a simple book for beginners, modern students of Arabic will find it to be intermediate-level at the least.
