In full, Al-Muqadimma al-Adjurrumiya fi Mabadi Ilm al-Arabiya, or Matn Al-Ajrumiyyah (متن المقدمة الآجرومية), commonly abbreviated to Al-Ājurrūmīyya.
The Muḳaddima summarizes the complex rules of Arabic syntax into a concise, clear and intelligible format, that is easy to memorize.
For its brevity and utility it has maintained a wide popularity among Arabic language teachers and students across Arabophone countries, and over 60 commentaries by later grammarians have been produced.
[5] A Latin translation of Ibn Adjurrum's Arabic grammar was made by the Italian Franciscan friar, Thomas Obicini of Novara, who had lived for a time as an abbot in Aleppo, and published in Italy in 1621 with the title Grammatica Arabica.
[6] Al-Suyuti (Bughya, 102) places ibn Ājurrūm stylistically in the Kūfah School of grammar, based on his use of the genitive term "khafḍ," (خفض), the desinentially inflective imperative "muʿrab" (معرب), and the "kayfamā" (كيفما) particle (حرف) "ḥarf", to govern the apocopate form "jazm" (جزم).
