Al-Muqaddimah al-Ajurrumiyyah is one of the best-known grammar primers, with which students begin their study of the instrumental sciences. Its short length and simple wording helped it spread widely; yet linguists have noted many flaws in it, besides scholarly problems that escaped most readers.
In this book the author corrects its flaws and its scholarly and technical lapses, avoiding both obscurity and verbosity without being terse, and presents it in a way that suits beginners in grammar — the very readers the primer was written for.
