Bartolomeo Pirone, Guida allo studio dell'arabo. Un metodo semplice per entrare passo dopo passo nella lingua del ḍād, Bologna: Edizioni del Gruppo di Ricerca Arabo-Cristiana, 2021.
ISBN: 9791280091079
The book is the result of many years of teaching at the University of Naples "L'Orientale". As an expert guide for having taught the Arabic language to hundreds of students, the Author takes by the hand those who want to acquire the written and spoken Arabic language and, with the necessary patience for anyone wishing to acquire a language, leads the reader and explains all the elements, from the simplest to the most complex.
The book is a precious tool precisely for those who want to approach the "language of ḍād" (the letter that stands out in the cover image) and which, among the emphatic sounds of Arabic, is the one that is most peculiar to arabic speaking people; for this reason Arabic has been called by linguists "the language of ḍād".

مقالة في التوحيد
ليحيى ابن عدي
(م893-974)
ISBN: 9791280091000
How can we say that God is one? When we say it, are we saying it because – as Muslims believe – we wish to affirm God’s absolute oneness and uniqueness, or because – as Christians understand it – we recognize and accept a modulation within it?
With his Treatise on Divine Unity, the Christian philosopher Yaḥyā ibn ʿAdī (d. 974) sets out to demonstrate that the true meaning of the One does not contradict that of the multiple: on the contrary, it actually implies it. The Christian concept of divine Oneness, which is also simultaneously a “Trinity”, takes its solid philosophical basis from this reasoning.
The method of the Treatise is in reality philosophical, even if its purpose is purely theological: the consideration of the notion of the one (al-wāḥid) aims, in fact, to define the quiddity (māhiyyah) of God. In the wake of Plato’s Parmenides, and with particular attention to the Aristotelian discussion of the one, the different meanings of the one and unity, as Yaḥyā presents them, are conceived in polemical dialogue with the Islamic theological context: the opposition between the Christian and the Islamic conceptions of divine Oneness is implicit but constant throughout the whole Treatise.
