Descriptive card

The text is a compendium of al-Jazarī's work al-Tamḥīd fī ʻilm al-taǧwīd, on Qur'anic recitation. This work has been a source for the compilation of the Alphabetum Arabicum, published in 1592 by Giovanni Battista Raimondi, scientific director of the Typographia Medicea (Rome 1584). In particular, he took from this work information on the phonetic value of Arabic consonants, which he included in his primer handbook for western scholars.
