Abstract:

In this study, Ibn Ajurrum’s life, teachers, students, scientific personality, works, the grammar school he adopted and scientific studies about him are discussed. His real name is Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ajurrûm (d. 723/1323), who is Dawud es-Sanhadji, is an Arabic grammar and qiraat scholar who was born in Morocco in 672 (1273-74). Ibn Ajurrum, who gained fame with his concise syntax text Al-Muqaddimah al-Ajurrumiyyah, but whose works are mainly about qiraat, is also knowledgeable in disciplines such as fiqh and mathematics. In his works on qiraat, there are a lot of explanations about etymology, syntax, and morphology. It has been claimed that he belonged to the Kufa school of grammar as a syntax school, especially because he used some syntax concepts specific to the Kufa school of grammar in his Al-Muqaddimah al-Ajurrumiyyah. However, it has been revealed that Ibn Ajurrum, in his work Farâid al-Ma‘ani, which he wrote about qiraat, mostly used the concepts of the Basra school of grammar, adopted the views of this school, and although he used the concepts of the Kufa language school, he largely adopted the Basra school of grammar.
