al-qāmūs l-muḥīṭ: a digital Arabic dictionary

This is the parent item and links to 29 child items. Specifically, this item together with the 29 children is the famous Arabic medieval dictionary al-qāmūs l-muḥīṭ. It was compiled by the Persian lexicographer Al-fīrūz’ābādī. It belongs to lexicographical tradition and it is divided in sections (in Arabic bāb). Each section is devoted to an alphabetical consonant constituting the last radical consonant and is divided into chapters (in Arabic faṣl) ordered according to the first radical consonant. Each chapter (faṣl) is also divided into various parts gathering root family i.e. all lexical entries that have same root. In each chapter, roots are listed alphabetically according to the second radical consonant. Finally, lexical entries are grouped together under the root from which are derived. In the version uploaded, we adopted the original division based upon sections. Each section contains a text file and various XML files. The text file is the original plain text along with the macro (and micro) structure of the medieval dictionary: sections, chapters, roots, lexical entries and so on. There are two main types of XML files. One type contains the conversion of the plain text into a well formed XML document arranged according to the part of speech (verbs, noun, adjectives, proper nouns) of the lexical entry, while the other adds English translation of the lexical entries.
