Sharḥ Jāmī (al-Fawāʾid al-Ḍiyāʾiyya)

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jāmī · d. 898 AH Specialisation Planned

The commentary on al-Kāfiya, and the last grammar in the classical course. Famous for being hard, and for the fact that finishing it is what the tradition treats as knowing naḥw.

The text

Public domain, no copy we can vouch for yet

Al-Jāmī died in 898 AH. The text is public domain but exists online only as manuscript images, not as a printed text anyone can read. Bought in print.

In English — ours

Not yet. We translate rather than reprint, so the English for this book begins the day its first lesson is taught.

We link rather than mirror. The classical texts are out of copyright, but the modern printed editions of them are not, so we point you at a library that already carries one instead of putting somebody else’s edition on our server. What we do host is our own work.

Lessons

Not written yet. This book is on the map so you can see where it sits in the course, not because it is ready to study here.
