46400459, Lisboa, Typogr. Acad., 1830; petit in-4, basane brune mod., non rog. 2 ff., XVI pp., 204 pp. Exemplaire non coupé. OUVRAGE TRES IMPORTANT.

""""This work, though no without grave faults, is regarded by students of Hispano-Lusitanian Arabic as much superior to that of Martinez Marina in the 4 th. vol. of the Memorias de la real Academia and the still more slovenly list of Hammer in the 1854 Sitzenbericht of the Vienna Academy. With the glossary of Dozy and Engelmann it supersedes all other publications of the kind necessary for consultation by investigators of the relations between Spain and Africa. Playfair. 440.
