This review is from: Al-Mawrid 2002: A Modern English-Arabic Dictionary (Hardcover)
Al-Mawrid 2002 was recommended by another reviewer (Jorge X. McKie) when I was looking for a good English-Arabic dictionary. I ordered it sight unseen based on the review (and after browsing the pitiful Oxford offering) and I am impressed. This 1200+ page tome is as complete as I could have wished for. And it has a few addendums that are useful and entertaining: The Lamps of Experience is a collection of English proverbs with origins and Arabic equivalents; English words of Arabic origin; and Biographical Names - this is particularly well-done with many color pictures.The only minor complaint I might make is that the Arabic words do not have the vowels marked so I must make a second trip to my Arabic-English dictionary to "discover" the correct vowels. Maybe after my knowledge of the pattern "rules" improves this will not be so much of a detraction. Overall, however, this dictionary is an outstanding example of what a bilingual dictionary should strive to be. |
