The New Arabic-Hebrew Dictionary is a dictionary of the Arabic language across the ages, with focus on the language of the spoken and written media. The dictionary also reflects the rich literary history of the Arabic language, of more than 1,400 years, including the Qur'an, ancient poetry, proverbs, the Hadith and jurisprudential literature, Adab literature and historical literature. Terms and expressions from the sphere of Islamic theology and jurisprudence, which were considered archaic 50 or 60 years ago, have come back into use following the rise of fundamentalist Islam in the 1970s, and this new dictionary provides translations and explanations for these terms as well.
With over 44,000 entries, this dictionary is today the most comprehensive, up-to-date and reliable dictionary of contemporary Arabic.
User-friendly: full vocalization of all Arabic and Hebrew entries.
About 6,000 examples from Arabic literature of all eras and from the press clarify the use of words.
Over 4,000 grammatical and historical notes.
The New Arabic-Hebrew Dictionary is intended for university students and scholars, school pupils and teachers and anyone interested in the Arabic language.
"The publication of the New Arabic-Hebrew dictionary is a milestone in the history of Arabic studies in Israel and beyond. It is the fruit of meticulous, painstaking work carried out for well over 15 years by Professor Menahem Milson, assisted by his dedicated team. The dictionary stands out by virtue of its impressively large number of entries, notes and examples, by its clear and concise definitions as well as by the fluent and elegant Hebrew style. It will remain an indispensable tool for years to come, and Professor Milson is owed a large debt of gratitude for making it available to all users of Arabic, whether academics, students, or interested members of the public." - Haggai Ben-Shammai, Etan Kohlberg, Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam, April 2023
