Specialist Notes
First untouched edition . Metoscita (al-Matushi), a Maronite from Cyprus, was one of the first students at the Maronite College in Rome and joined the Society of Jesus in 1597. He composed this elementary Latin grammar to aid in the teaching of Arabic. The first example of a classical Arabic poem is printed on p. 227. The book was dedicated by the printer Stefano Paolini to Cardinal Francesco Barberini, who had commissioned its publication.
