Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIBAWAIHI [Abu Bishr, or Abu-1 Hasan`Amr ibn`Uthman ibn Qanbar, known as SIBAWAIHI or SIBUY1] (c. 753-793) , Arabian grammarian, was by origin a Persian and a freedman. Of his early years nothing is known. At the age of thirty-two he went to Basra, where he was a
pupil
  of the celebrated grammarian Khalil. Later he went to Bagdad, but soon left, owing to a dispute with the Kufan grammarian Kisk'i, and returned to Persia, where lie died at the age of about
forty
 . His
great
 
grammar
  of Arabic, known simply as The
Book
 , is not only the earliest systematic presentation of Arabic
grammar
 , but is recognized among
Arabs
  as the most perfect. It is not always clear, but is very full and valuable for its many illustrations from the
Koran
  and the poets.
The
Book
  was published by H. Derenbourg (2 vols., Paris, 1881-1889), and a
German
 
translation
 , with extracts from the commentary of Sirafi (d. 978) and others, was published by G. Jahn (Berlin, 1895-1900). (G. W. T.)
