Item description from seller

8vo. xiii, (1), 146, (2)pp. in English + xv pp. in Arabic + 132pp. in Hebrew. Original half brown sheep, gilt, over marbled boards (spine strip & tips rubbed). Old library bookplates on front pastedown and an unobtrusive library rubber stamp & date stamp on the first leaf of text, but no other library markings. Note(s): Added t.p. in Hebrew./ Includes the Hebrew texts and English translations of: Kit?b al dhaw?t ?ur?f al-L?n and Kit?b al-Dhaw?t al-Mathalayn; and the Arabic text, Hebrew text and English translation of: Kit?b al-Tanq??t. (OCLC) Judah ben David Hayyuj (c. 945 - 1000) was a Spanish-Jewish grammarian. His thorough knowledge of Arabic grammatical literature led him to apply to the Hebrew grammar the theories elaborated by Arabic grammarians, and thus to become the founder of the scientific study of that discipline. The preceding scholars had found the greatest difficulty in accounting, by the laws of Hebrew morphology, for the divergences existing between the regular, or so-called "strong," verbs and the "weak" verbs. A hopeless confusion appeared to reign here in Hebrew; and much ingenuity was spent in endeavoring to discover the principles that controlled the conjugation of the verbs. To substantiate his theories he wrote the treatises upon which his reputation chiefly rests, the Kitab al-Af'al Dhawat Huruf al-Lin (The Book of Verbs Containing Weak Letters) and Kitab al-Af'al Dhawat al-Mathalain (The Book of Verbs Containing Double Letters) which comprise this particular book.
