(Wikipedia) / From the library of Prof. Dr. Albrecht Noth (1937-1999), long-time professor for the history and culture of the Near East in Bonn and Hamburg. Arabic text. - A very good copy. - Abu al-Qasim Mahmud ibn Umar al-Zamakhshari, known widely as al-Zamakhshari (also called Jar Allah (Arabic for "God's neighbour", 1075 � 1144), was a medieval Muslim scholar of Persian origin, who subscribed to the Mu'tazilite theological doctrine, who was born in Khwarezmia, but lived most of his life in Bukhara, Samarkand, and Baghdad. He was a great authority on the Arabic language as well as a rationalist theologian. Asas al-Balaghah ("The Foundation of Eloquence") is a thesaurus and dictionary of figurative speech. Zamakhshari authored the work, in part, to reconcile what he viewed as the miraculous nature of the Qur'an with his theological views.It was the earliest Arabic lexicography to be organized in a completely alphabetical form, and was noteworthy for its attention to metaphorical meanings. Words therein are listed in order from the first of their three component letters to the last, excluding complicated forms derived from roots as well as rare roots such quadrilaterals and quintilaterals. Zamakhshari's goal was to catalog both the literal and figurative meanings of Arabic words, and he used examples from the Qur'an and hadith for both. He viewed words almost as living organisms that were given life by the way they were used in rhetoric. (Wikipedia)
