WILLMET, Johannes. - Lexicon linguae Arabicae in Coranum Haririum et vitam Timuri.

Lugduni Batavorum, apud Sam. et Joh. Luchtmans, 1784. 4to. Contemporary half calf, spine gilt, with red morocco title-label. XVI,824 pp. First edition. - The Arabic-Latin dictionary by Joannes Willmet (1750-1835) was primarily printed for educational purposes. This work is compiled chiefly from that of Golius, but with many important additions. Though it states to be constructed only for the Koran, Hariri and Ibn Arabshah’s Life of Timur, yet the Arabic student will seldom be at loss for any root he may meet with any other author. For the Koran it is particularly useful, as it contains not only all the words but refers also to the chapter and verse in which they occur (Ras Al Khaimah).- (Blank margin last page restored). - A fine interleaved copy with text in Arabic and Latin in double column.
