الملخص
This historical Arabic-Latin lexicon by Joannes Willmet serves as a scholarly reference tool to aid in the understanding of three major Arabic texts: the Qur'an, Al-Hariri’s Maqamat, and the Vita Timuri (The Life of Timur). Designed for theologians, historians, and philologists, the lexicon explains complex Arabic vocabulary, idioms, and phrases, often with commentary and etymology.
It represents a significant academic effort in 18th-century Europe to bridge classical Islamic literature with Western scholarship.
