And it is easy for one who is fond of the heritage of Eastern literary sciences to reach every precious and abundant treasure from its valuable jewels. What is hoped from one who looks at this chosen commentary is that he will not hold me accountable for what appears from the inheritance, but rather that he will cover with his generosity what becomes clear to him from the insights. (And I ask God to make this book beneficial and useful to those who peruse it from the people of the East and the West, and a happy, wholesome, and praiseworthy experience for all who hasten to its source, whether they are of our kind or not.) His words conclude. He said in the French introduction to this book that the "Maqamat al-Badīʿiyya" are superior to the "Maqamat al-Harīriyya." Several of the "Maqamat" from both have been translated into French. In its entirety, the book "Al-Anīs al-Mufīd li-l-Ṭālib al-Mustafīd" and "Jāmiʿ al-Shudhūr min Manẓūm wa Manthūr" contain a collection of both. In general, his knowledge, especially in the Arabic language, is well-known, even though he can only speak Arabic with extreme difficulty. In some of his books, he has made great contributions, significant insights, and strong arguments. He has extensive knowledge of scientific books written in various languages. The reason for all of this is his mastery of his language through speech, and then his subsequent dedication to learning languages. Among his works that demonstrate his excellence is a book on grammar that he called "Al-Tuḥfa al-Sunniyya" in the science of Arabic. In it, he presented the science of grammar in a wondrous arrangement that had never been preceded. He also has a collection called "Al-Mukhtār min Kutub Aʾimmat al-Tafsīr wa-l-ʿArabiyya" for uncovering the mysteries of grammatical and linguistic terminology. He compiled and translated it from Arabic into French. He has other works and translations, especially in the Persian language, in which he has achieved the utmost brilliance. His fame for excellence in the lands of the Franks is undeniable, to the point that he has received marks of honor from their greatest kings. Furthermore, the arts in the French language have reached their peak, to the extent that every dictionary is arranged alphabetically.
