The two principal grammars of Ibn Muti, his "Fusul hamsin" and, in verse, his "ad-Durra al-alfiya", edited by Swedish orientalists. Yahya bin Abd al-Mu'ti az-Zawawi "had already made a name for himself in his native Damascus als a writer and teacher when the Ayyubid Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil called him to Cairo. There he served as a teacher at the old mosque and died in 628/1231" (cf. GAL I, 303).

Binding insignificantly rubbed at extremeties; handwritten index and library stamp on front paste-down. Handwritten note on first title detailing place and time for the disputation.
