تعليم المتعلم طريق التعلم
Taʿlīm al-Mutaʿallim
How to study: what to read first, how to sit with a teacher, when to memorise and when to move on. Written in the seventh century and still set at the start of the course, because the method has not changed.
The text
Public domain — an old printing
Gustav Flügel’s edition, Enchiridion Studiosi — Leipzig, 1838
Printed in 1838, which is public domain in the United States whoever edited it. Arabic text with a Latin translation facing.
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.
