Abu Mansur Mauhub al-Jawaliqi

Abu Mansur Mauhub al-Jawaliqi (1073–1145), Arab grammarian, was born at Baghdad, where he studied philology under Tibrizi and became famous for his handwriting. In his later years he acted as "imam" to the "caliph" Moqtafi. His chief work is the "Kitab al-Mu'arab", or "Explanation of Foreign Words used in Arabic."

The text was edited from an incomplete manuscript by Eduard Sachau (Leipzig, 1867). Many of the "lacunae" in this have been supplied from another manuscript by W. Spitta in the "Journal of the German Oriental Society", xxxiii. 208 sqq. Another work, written as a supplement to the "Durrat ul-Ghawwas of Harm", has been published as "Le Livre des locutions vicieuses," by H. Derenbourg in "Morgenlandische Forschungen" (Leipzig, 1875), pp. 107-166.
