This concise and well-organised grammar of classical Arabic, here translated from its original German into English for the first time, provides students of Arabic with a highly useful reference tool. While brief enough to be used with efficiency, the book is also rich in content and thorough in its coverage. Beginning- or advanced-level students working on classical texts and styles will find this grammar quick to use, reliable, and up-to-date. More than just a translation into English, this edition of Wolfdietrich Fischer's Grammar of Classical Arabic includes many revisions and additions provided by Rodgers. In particular, the chapter on syntax offers numerous new text examples and other improvements. The bibliography has been updated to include significant recent contributions to the field of classical Arabic grammar and linguistics. Translated by Jonathan Rodgers with attention to both accuracy and readability, this book is an accessible reference tool that every student of classical Arabic will want to have on hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Not for beginners.,
By Armando-Malwani "Seeker" (MN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Grammar of Classical Arabic: Third Revised Edition (Hardcover)
This book is a more condensed and advanced text than many available in the market. It is clearly not for the novice and not recommended for light reading. Its mainly a reference grammer that is more compact than wright's but one which incorporates the finer points of classical arabic. If you are a beginner this may not be the book for you. Wrights would be a better option for you, or if you are interested in something thinnner Nahmad and haywood would be perfect. Once you gain a grasp of the language and would like a grammer strictly for reference only then this book might suit you.
