187021459London and Berlin: Asher & Co 1870. First edition. Hardcover. vg. 8vo. XIII 146 pp. in English XV in Arabic 132 pp. in Hebrew. Red cloth with gold lettering on spine. Signature of the late Leon J. Leibreich the influential Professor of Theology at Hebrew Union College who has a prize for liturgy endowed in his name on title page. Work was originally written in Arabic by Judah ben David Hayyuj. This book includes both the Hebrew translation by Moses Gikitilia of Cordova and the English translation by John W. Nutt. Minor age wear to exterior. Binding has been expertly reinforced with green binder's tape along front endpapers. Book is in very good condition. Judah ben David Hayyuj c. 945 - 1000 was a Spanish-Jewish grammarian. His thorough knowledge of Arabic grammatical literature led him to apply to the Hebrew grammar the theories elaborated by Arabic grammarians and thus to become the founder of the scientific study of that discipline. The preceding scholars had found the greatest difficulty in accounting by the laws of Hebrew morphology for the divergences existing between the regular or so-called "strong" verbs and the "weak" verbs. A hopeless confusion appeared to reign here in Hebrew; and much ingenuity was spent in endeavoring to discover the principles that controlled the conjugation of the verbs. To substantiate his theories he wrote the treatises upon which his reputation chiefly rests the Kitab al-Af'al Dhawat Huruf al-Lin The Book of Verbs Containing Weak Letters and Kitab al-Af'al Dhawat al-Mathalain The Book of Verbs Containing Double Letters which comprise this particular book.

WIKIPEDIA<br/>Moses B. Stuart an American biblical scholar was born in Wilton Connecticut. He graduated with highest honours at Yale in 1799; in 1802 he was admitted to the Connecticut bar and was appointed as a tutor at Yale where he remained for two years. In 1806 Stuart became the pastor of the Centre Congregational Church of New Haven being appointed professor of sacred literature in the Andover Theological Seminary in 1809.Here he succeeded Eliphalet Pearson 1752-1826 the first preceptor of the Phillips Andover Academy and in 1786-1806 professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages at Harvard. At this time he knew hardly more than elementary Hebrew and not much more Greek; in 1801-12 he prepared for the use of his students a Hebrew grammar which they copied day by day from his manuscript; in 1813 he printed his Grammar which appeared in an enlarged form with a copious syntax and praxis in 1821 and was republished in England by Dr Pusey in 1831. He gradually made the acquaintance of German works in hermeneutics first Johann Friedrich Schleusner Seiler and Gesenius and taught himself German arousing much suspicion and distrust among his colleagues by his unusual studies. However recognition soon followed partly as a result of his Letter to Dr Channing on the Subject of Religious Liberty 1830 but more largely through the growing favour shown to German philology and critical method. In 1848 he resigned his chair at Andover. Stuart died in Andover on January 4th 1852.Stuart has been called the father of exegetical studies in America. He contributed largely by his teaching to the renewal of foreign missionary zeal-of his 1500 students more than 100 became foreign missionaries among them such skilled translators as Adoniram Judson Elias Riggs and William G Schauffler. Stuart's 1850 book "Conscience and the Constitution" took the position that slavery is an institution allowed by the Bible but that as it was actually practiced in the United States slavery was morally wrong. Therefore there should be a voluntary emancipation of slaves by the Southern slave owners. Flag and Gould...Printers unknown books
