Item description from seller

Arabic and Hebrew text. Edited with an appendix, containing extracts from other Hebrew-Arabic dictionaries [by] Adolf Neubauer ; with additions and corrections by Wilhelm Bacher. Amsterdam : Philo Press, 1968. Reprint Oxford 1875-edition. Orig. cloth binding. 414,18 pp. 29x22 cm. - Kitab al-Usul (The Book of Roots), the dictionary, was arranged into 22 chapters - one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet.[20] The dictionary included more than 2,000 roots, nearly all of them triliteral. Less than five percent of the roots have more than three letters, and they were added as appendix in each chapter. Definitions for the words were derived from the Talmud, Tanakh or other classical Jewish works, as well as similar Arabic and Aramaic words. This approach was controversial and new in Hebrew scholarship.[20] Ibn Janah defended his method by pointing to precedents in the Talmud as well as previous works by Jewish writers in Babylonia and North Africa, which all used examples from other languages to define Hebrew words. Condition : new copy. ISBN 9789060220405. Keywords : JEWISH STUDIES, Ancient Near East.
