|  | Einleitung in das Studium der Arabischen Sprache by Georg Freytag
The introduction to the Arabic language by the renowned linguist Georg Freytag is fast becoming difficult to find. Written in German, this precise presentation is intended for a general readership which has no background in previous Semitic language study. The Arabic period covered for this historic grammar is that of Mohammed and later. In some ways an unconventional approach Freytag introduces topics such as Arabic names and the history of the Arabs, even prior to Mohammed’s time. An outline of the Arabic language and its dialects is presented. A period piece that retains its functionality, this introduction to Arabic is more than a grammar, it is a view into the life of the Arabian world. |

The famous Persian dictionary of Sayyid Abdurrashid, now quite difficult to locate, is an historic dictionary to which linguists still make reference. The Farhang I Rashidi was compiled by the Persian scholar Abd ur-Rashid bin Abd ul-Ghafur Husaini al-Madani al-Tattawi (d. 1653) who lived in Thatta, what is now the Sindh province of Pakistan. Abd ur-Rashid was an influential scholar in the Mughal Empire during its period of supremacy. One of two dictionaries compiled by Abd ur-Rashid, this lexicon, presented entirely in Classic Persian, this historic achievement marks a turning point in Persian lexicography and ranks as one of the cultural and literary achievements of the seventeenth century. The two volumes of this historic dictionary are here bound together, providing an affordable alternative to earlier two-part editions.
Zulfaqar Ali was the first Persian Maulawi at the Calcutta Madrasah, The second volume included the assistance of Aziz Urrahman, Maulawi at Presidency College, Calcutta.
