Syriac.--Joshua ben Ali, a physician, who lived about 885, made a
Syro-Arabic lexicon, of which there is a MS. in the Vatican. Hoffmann
printed this lexicon from Alif to Mim, from a Gotha MS., Kiel, 1874,
4to. Joshua bar Bahlul, living 963, wrote another, great part of which
Castelli put into his lexicon. His MS. is now at Cambridge, and, with
those at Florence and Oxford, was used by Bernstein. Elias bar
Shinaya, born 975, metropolitan of Nisibis, 1009, wrote a Syriac and
Arabic lexicon, entitled _Kit[=a]b [=u]t Tarjuman fi Taalem Loghat es
S[=u]ri[=a]n_ (Book called the Interpreter for teaching the Language
of the Syrians), of which there is a MS. in the British Museum. It was
translated into Latin by Thomas a Novaria, a Minorite friar, edited by
Germanus, and published at Rome by Obicinus, 1636, 8vo. It is a
classified vocabulary, divided in 30 chapters, each containing several
sections. Crinesius, Wittebergae, 1612, 4to: Buxforf, Basileae, 1622,

Arabic.--The native lexicons are very many, voluminous and copious. In
the preface to his great Arabic-English lexicon, Lane describes 33,
the most remarkable of which are-the _'Ain_, so called from the letter
which begins its alphabet, commonly ascribed to al Khalil (who died
before A.H. 175 [A.D. 791], aged seventy-four): the _Sihah_ of Jauhari
(died 398 [1003]): the _Mohkam_ of Ibn Sidah the Andalusian, who was
blind, and died A.H. 458 [A.D. 1066], aged about sixty: the _Asas_ of
Zamakhshari (born 467 [1075], died
