About this listen
 Every day, one root from Kitāb al-Uṣūl, the Book of Roots of Abū al-Walīd Marwān ibn Janāḥ (Córdoba and Zaragoza, eleventh century), in his own order, read by Fāṭima from the edition by Blaise Webster and Marc Philip Boulos, OCABS Press. Ibn Janāḥ wrote in Arabic about the Hebrew of Scripture, working from the consonantal text: each root, the verses it is heard in, and its Arabic kin. From OCABS on the Ephesus School Network.
