Old Arabic manuscript – Treatise on Grammar and Morphology (Ṣarf) – 20 handwritten pages, XVIIIth century Interesting old Arabic manuscript devoted to the grammatical and morphological study of the Arabic language, the 5 double leaves are detached, 18cm × 12cm. The manuscript comprises 20 handwritten pages, copied by hand in black ink. A particularly careful part of the text features rubrication in red ink; technical terms, divisions and numbering appear in red, while the body of the text is drawn in black. Several pages are also bordered by a double red framing line. The visible content mainly concerns Arabic grammar and morphology (ṣarf): study of verbal forms, conjugations, the imperative, present, letter modifications and different grammatical categories. The successive divisions are clearly marked by red-rubricated ordinal terms. This is not a Qur’an. Some religious references and phrases mentioning God naturally appear in the text and its examples, but the work on view is above all a linguistic treatise intended for learning Classical Arabic, inscribed in the intellectual and educational tradition of the Islamic world. The leaves show browning, stains, smudges, small marginal gaps. 20 simple handwritten pages. Language: Arabic. Manuscript in black and red ink on paper. Circa 1700–1800. An authentic witness of traditional Arabic teaching, learned handwritten leaves of 20 pages, with red rubrication. *Conservation tips, as it is very fragile.
