المعرب في تفسير قوافي أبي لحسن لأبي الفتح عثمان بن جني، ت 392 ه: دراسة منهجية توثيقية

Abstract EN

This paper is a methodologically documented investigation of a preciously rare manuscript, which was presumed to have been lost, on which many scholars of Arabie literary tradition in général and Arabie linguistics in particular are eager to lay their hands.

It tackles an important Arabie linguistics topic, rhymes.

The title of the manuscript is ALMU3RIB on Explaining AlAkhfash’s Rhymes by the linguist Abi AlFath Othman bin Jinni (died in 392 AH), in which he explains the first such book on Rhymes by AlAkhfash AlAwsat, Saeed bin Mas3ada (died in 215 AH).

This book is considered one of the most precious, comprehensive and voluminous on rhymes as it had been a great resource for a great many others in linguistics and rhymes later.

This paper sheds light on its contents and methodology in order to highlight its significance in linguistic and literary studies alike; it also compares it to similar other books on the same topic; it vérifiés the title of the book and its attribution to its author.

Unearthing this manuscript is academically unprecedented in itself due to its scientific rank and status amongst specialists, let alone the current analysis thereof, which is the first such study about it.
