Rare second, corrected edition of Erpenius's influential Arabic grammar. Erpenius, one of the most distinguished orientalists and by far the best Arabist of his day, published his famous "Grammatica Arabica" in 1613, followed in 1620 by the "Rudimenta linguae Arabicae", a slightly abridged version of the "Grammatica". It includes the Arabic text, with Latin transcriptions, of chapter 64 of the Quran.
Removed from the Reims Jesuit College library, with their annotation to title page ("Collegii Remensis / Societatis Jesu / Catalogo Inscriptur"). A fine copy.
