The Al-fara'id al-Wafiyya bi-Dhikr Maalam tahwihi al-Alfiyya of Al-Mansuri : A critical edition with a comparative study between it and the Alfiyya of Ibn Malik
The main part of this thesis consists of an edition of a previously unstudied grammatical alfiyya, al-Fara'id al-Wafiyya bi-Dbikr mĂ€ lam Tahwihi al-Alfiyya of the eighteenth-century scholar al-MansĂŒri, who was probably of Egyptian origin but rose to become the Shaykh of the Dar al-QurrP in Istanbul. The edition is supplied with full critical annotations based on the two surviving manuscripts, one in SĂŒhĂ€j and the other in Istanbul, and is provided with extensive notes on grammarians, poets, tribes etc. mentioned by al-MansĂŒri and with full indices after the edition. The edition is prefaced by a critical introduction which discusses the development of grammatical studies among the Arabs, and. particularly the reasons for the appearance of the grammatical alfiyya and its development. Since al-MansĂŒri's work is an attempt to provide a more compete coverage of Arabic grammar than Ibn MĂ€lik, a comparative study of the two works is undertaken, with an attempt to assess the achievments and shortcomings of al-MansĂŒri in the task which he has set himself. This is prefaced by a brief account of the life and scholarly career of Ibn MĂ€lik, together with an account of the few facts which are known about al-MansĂŒri.
