Studies in Middle Arabic and its Judaeo-Arabic Variety

These papers, in main deal with Medieval Judaeo-Arabic, the linguistic tool of Jewish culture in Arab lands, one of the apogees of Jewish culture in general. It reflects a variety of Middle Arabic, in which Classical Arabic Neo-Arabic and pseudo-correct features alternate. This ancient Neo-Arabic constitutes the missing link between Classical Arabic and the modern Arabic dialects. Some of the early Judaeo-Arabic documents are spelt in a hebraicized spelling, rather than in standard Judaeo-Arabic orthography.
