Risālat al-Tanbīh (The Epistle of Admonition) by Rabbi Jonah ibn Janāḥ : A New Translation. (English)

Jewish polemical literature contains numerous works spanning many historical periods, places, and topics. Medieval Hebrew philology also contributed its part to this literature in several polemical essays that greatly improved and advanced the science of language. The Epistle of Admonition (Risālat al-Tanbīh) is the first extant polemical grammatical composition based on the linguistic discoveries of Judah Ḥayyūj. This work by Jonah Ibn Janāh, the greatest medieval linguist, ̣ is published here in an annotated critical edition in the Arabic original, accompanied, for the first time in a thousand years, by a Hebrew translation.
