Sibawayh
Persian grammarian from Basra (c–)
Sibawayh (Arabic: سِيبَوَيْهIPA:[siːbawajh] (also pronounced IPA:[siːbaweː(h)] in many modern dialects) Sībawayh; Persian: سِیبُویهSībūye[siːbuːˈje]; c.&#;–), whose full name is Abu Bishr Amr ibn Uthman ibn Qanbar al-Basri (أَبُو بِشْر عَمْرو بْن عُثْمَان بْن قَنْبَر ٱلْبَصْرِيّ, 'Abū Bishr 'Amr ibn 'Uthmān ibn Qanbar al-Baṣrī), was a Persian[4][5] leading grammarian of Basra and author of the earliest book on Arabic grammar.
His famous unnamed work, referred to as Al-Kitāb, or "The Book", is a five-volume seminal discussion of the Arabic language.[6]
Ibn Qutaybah, the earliest extant source, in his biographical entry under Sibawayh simply wrote:
He is Amr ibn Uthman, and he was mainly a grammarian.
He arrived in Baghdad, fell out with the local grammarians, was humiliated, went back to some town in Persia, and died there while still a young man.[7]
