Des usages variables de la doxographie dans la tradition grammaticale arabe

Abstract

Although the Arabic grammatical tradition never acknowledged its historicity, it nevertheless gathered a vast amount of informations about its past. These informations appear in two different textual genres : bio-bibliographic collection on the one hand, doxographical works on the other. After a brief survey of the former, this paper adresses the latter, through three particular cases, Ibn al-Anbārī’s Inṣāf, Ibn Mālik’s Tashīl and Astarābāḏī’s Šarḥ al-Kāfiya.
