Reviews

'It is a work of such fundamental importance and of such matchless excellence that praise for it is quite superfluous. Every Arabist has had good cause to bless him for his superhuman labour... It is certainly true to say that every work produced in this century relating in any way to Arabic studies has drawn heavily upon the Lexicon.'
