Is there any work in Arabic similar to the Oxford English Dictionary?
The OED is a 22 volume historical dictionary. It includes the etymology of the word, the history of usage of the word, such as when it was first introduced to the language, its roots, all the meanings the it has ever had, and several quotations from literary sources. Oh and it also includes the meaning of word parts. It’s very, very comprehensive.
Is there anything like this in Arabic? I’m particularly interested in classical Arabic. If there is such a work, can you provide a link to an online bookstore where it is available?
Faisal, are you still stalking me?
When it comes to classic works the Arabic/Islamic librarly is full of them.
Theres even books about Quranic grammer, saying each word in the Qur'aan is this or that ( subject, object, adjective etc ) , and thats NOT easy or simple in Arabic, because at many times theres many possibilities.
The Islamic library is so rich.
Theres a book on Islamic Philosophy by the Shiekh of Islam Ibn Taymiyah I hope I can get translated to English soon. More like an encyclopedia and will definitly change whats taught at universities around the world.
Anyway, back to your question... im not THAT familiar with such books, but try
1- Lisaan Al Arab
This is an Arabic bookstore and apperantly they have it on CD.
http://www.neelwafurat.com/itempage.aspx?id=lbs33-0&search=software
This websites lets you search it, but by entering root words
http://www.alwaraq.net/LisanSearch.htm
Then theres
2- Al Qamoos Al Moheet....
They have it in six volumes here http://www.neelwafurat.com/itempage.aspx?id=lbb82366-42787&search=books
Theres so many versions of sometimes the same book, some abbreviated, some "studied" ( Tahqeeq, not sure what the English word for that is ) and so on. So theres no one standard book of either one of those, because theres different versions with different commentaries.
Im not sure if the six volume one is the full version, but its a start and those two books are extremly famous and considered authentic references.
Knowing such things and how such books are written, and how the commentaries are done, is always helpful. As theres so many books that were written hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and studied again and again, so theres no author rights or anything like that.
Unfortunatly so many books were burned in wars when Muslims were attacked, but we do have quite a few left..
This is a famous online Islamic library with so many books on history, Arabic, Islam, and so on... and apperantly they have all of Al Qamoos Al Moheet on the site... heres the link
http://www.al-eman.com/islamlib/viewtoc.asp?BID=142
They probably have Lisaan Al Arab too..
Theres soooo many books that although different have many similarities. And keep in mind, such books arent normally read by the common man.
I myself, a native speaker have to focus when I read such books and some words I would not and never get.
Anyway if you can read Arabic, try browsing that site, theres all sorts of books there for free to read online, it will give you an idea what its like although they way they categorize things makes it kinda hard for me to search.
