【Summary】
Sirāj al-Dīn ʿAlī Khān Ārzū was one of the most distinguished poets, scholars, and literary critics of the 12th century A.H., and among his many works, Muthmir occupies a singular position. This book is widely regarded as the first Persian-language treatise devoted explicitly to linguistics, or ʿilm al-lugha.
Structured on the model of al-Suyūṭī’s al-Muzhir, Muthmir is organized into forty-two sections, in which Ārzū systematically examines key linguistic topics such as synonymy, homonymy, semantic opposition, agreement, literal and figurative meaning, phonetic assimilation, substitution, and related issues — specifically as they pertain to the Persian language.
By adapting classical Arabic linguistic theory to Persian, Muthmir represents a foundational milestone in the history of Persian linguistics, bridging philology, semantics, and literary criticism.
