Edward William Lane

An Arabic-english Lexicon: Derived from the Best and the Most Copious Eastern Sources Edward William Lane Abridged edition

This practical work, originally published in 1885, is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. A comprehensive dictionary of Arabic vocabulary comprising a very large collection of words and significations omitted in the Kamoos with supplements to its abridged and defective explanations, ample grammatical and critical comments, and examples in prose and verse. Thoroughly recommended for scholars of the Arabic language. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
