Abstract
The Arabic grammar by Ibn Dāwūd al-Ṣanhājī (Ibn ājurrūm) (Fez, 672/1273-723/1323) has for centuries been one of the most widely used in the teaching of Arabic in the Arab world. Itwas also one of the foundational texts for the teaching of Arabic in Europe from the sixteenth century onwards. This paper presents the Latin editions and translations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The paper concludes that this textual tradition witnesses the interest of the time in a de-Islamized form ofArabic for certain scientific content (especially medical texts), for the conversion of Muslims in Spain and, sometime later, as an academic language in the context of biblical studies.
