![]() ![]() Together with Kinga Devenyi and Rafi Talmon, who had also become interested in al-Farra', Naphtali set out rewriting the early history of Arabic grammar. He had been studying alFarra' for a long time and he showed us how al-Farra''s main work, the Ma'ani l-Qur'an could be used for a reevaluation of the history of Arabic linguistics. What Naphtali introduced us to was a new angle to the history of Arabic linguistics: he had become interested in a grammarian we all knew existed, but about whom we knew preciously little, the Kufan grammarian al-Farra3. All participants in the workshop were passionate researchers in this field of interest. The first time I met Naphtali was during the second Nijmegen workshop on the history of Arabic linguistics in 1987. But the two fields were closely interrelated for him and in his study of Classical Arabic he was always acutely aware of the mass of information contained in the corpus of the Arabic grammarians. Since his dissertation, which he submitted at Ann Arbor in 1977, Naphtali had worked in two fields, the history of the Arabic linguistic tradition and the structure of Classical Arabic. In 1996 he had been corresponding on his latest project, an edition, translation and critical study of a phonetic treatise on the pronunciation of the letter dad, which he was very enthusiastic about. We had all been aware of the fact that he had been seriously ill for quite some time, but we believed or wished to believe that he had recovered and was starting again with his research projects. ![]() Naphtali's death came as a shock to us all.
