An Arabic Reader
Author: A. Yellin, L. Billig
Publisher: Johnson Reprint Corporation
Publication date: 1963
Number of pages: 68+92
Format / Quality: PDF/good
Size: 3.6mb + 4.3mb

"An Arabic Reader" was originally published in Jerusalem in 1931:

"This splendid anthology contains excellent philological and linguistic notes plus a superb glossary and selections from Ibn Battuta, Ibn Jubair, al-Tabari, the Qur'an, etc."

ie classical Arabic, vowelled. I read that it's quite accessible without too much study of Arabic. The availability of recordings should help with this also.

Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, A Conversation Grammar and Reader
Author: W.H.T. Gairdner
Publisher: Heffer, Cambridge
Publication date: 1917
Number of pages: 330
Format / Quality: djvu
Size: 5 MB

Since we've had a lot of Egyptian Arabic materials, I thought I'd throw in this one as well. The more, the merrier.

Gairdner more or less set the standard for studying Egyptian Arabic before 'Abdel-Massih & co. joined in. In many ways, his work represents the apogee of the older scholarly tradition, but as you can see from the format generally and the using of IPA, it also accords to 20th century standards.

Because it brings the learner to a high level, using contextualized sentences and including the English translation, I sti ... Читать дальше »

Arabic Coins and How to Read Them
Author: Richard J.Plant
Publisher: London.,Seaby
Publication date: 1980
ISBN: 0900652527
Number of pages: 151
Format / Quality: Pdf
Size: 17,5 Mb
Language:English-Arabic

Цитата:
Richard Plant is obviously no stranger to education. He starts with a basic chapter on numerals and dating and takes the reader through the world of Arabic coins step by step with easy to digest chapters, each concluded by a test that allows you to practice what you know (answers are in the back of the book). By using line drawings, he avoids distractions by imperfections on coins. The book is neither an Arabic language guide, nor a coin catalogue, but rather an instrument specially designed for the numismatically inclined, w ... Читать дальше »

Poemes mystiques (Bilingual)
Author: Hussain Mansur al-Hallaj
Publisher: sindbad
Number of pages: 93
Format / Quality: pdf
Size: 1.5 MB

There is probably no thinker within Islam who is as controversial as Mansur al-Hallaj.

Accused of heresy, he died a horrible death in 922. After his death, he became revered and elevated by many Sufi brotherhoods. His name occurs in countless poems in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Ottoman, and so on.

In western Europe, the scholar associated with his name is Louis Massignon. He wrote three massive volumes about al-Hallaj which are a great read, but not unproblematic.

Whether you like al-Hallaj or not, you simply must know about him if you are interested in Islamic cultureS (plural emphasized!), especially literature or Sufism.

Here is a short selection of his poetry i ... Читать дальше »

Mehri Texts from Oman
Author: H. Stroomer, T.M.Johnstone
Publisher: Harrassow.
Publication date: 1999
Number of pages: ca. 300
Format / Quality: pdf
Size: 12 MB

After the Harsusi, here is the collection of Mehri texts based on T.M. Johnstone's field work.

Mehri is a Southern Arabian language with some 140,000 speakers in Yemen, Oman and the Gulf. It is better documented than other Southern Arabian languages. Unfortunately, I don't have a dictionary.

Be warned that the quality of the pdf is very mediocre. It was only intended as a working text for me and my students.

Die Mehri- und Soqotri-Sprache (Suedarabische Expedition, Band IV)
Author: D.H. Mueller
Publisher: Vienna
Publication date: 1902
Number of pages: 248
Format / Quality: pdf
Size: 6 MB

Here is a volume from the famous (well, among specialists) south Arabian expedition of the late 19th c. which resulted in several language and folklore studies.

This volume contains Mehri and Soqotri texts with German and sometimes Arabic translations as well, so it's often quadrilingual, which is really delightful.

I have other volumes from this series, but unfortunately not the one which specifically focuses on Soqotri texts (that would be volume VI) and I would very much appreciate if someone posted that one.

Don't blame me for the Biblical texts at the start of the book, I'm not a missionary for any religion. ... Читать дальше »

Harsusi Texts from Oman
Author: H. Stroomer, T.M.Johnstone
Publisher: Harrassow.
Publication date: 2004
Number of pages: ca.120
Format / Quality: Rar'd Pdf
Size: 13 MB

Harsusi is a Southern Arabian language spoken in Dhofar, Oman by only a few thousand people at most. It is very close to Mehri, another Southern Arabian language which is more vibrant. While related to Arabic, Harsusi and Mehri are perhaps as distant from it as Hebrew or Aramaic are.

Here is a selection of texts collected by T.M. Johnstone. He died in 1983 and the texts were only recently edited.

The version here was used in a Semitic linguistics class offered by me somewhat ad hoc. So, the handwritten original notes by Johnstone are not included (but they are available in the first part of the book anyway!), and the quality is ok, but n ... Читать дальше »
