Mizan al-Sarf

Description

Mīzān al-Ṣarf is the classical primer with which generations of students have begun ṣarf: the science of how Arabic words are built, weighed and changed. Written in Persian by ʿAllāmah Sirāj al-Dīn ibn ʿUthmān and read together with al-Munshaʿib of Mullā Ḥamzah Badāyūnī, it has long been the first step in the madrasah curriculum.

This edition presents the complete text in clear English that keeps the author’s own voice, with every paradigm set out as a table so the patterns can be seen at a glance.
