To that end it occurred to him to study grammar under certain Egyptian shaykhs, for he’d made up his mind that what he’d acquired in his own country wasn’t enough for the prince’s Panegyricon. In the same month, however, that he declared his intent to study, he was afflicted with a painful case of ophthalmia. when he recovered, he made his first foray into scholarship and studied with Shaykh Muṣṭafā272 a few small books on morphology and syntax. Then he got a bad case of worms, caused, he was told, by eating raw meat, a well-known custom among Levantines. whenever his stomach hurt him during the classes, the shaykh would put it down to the wide range of topics and the intensiveness of the analysis. Once he even said to him, “Glory be to God, no one has studied this science at my hands without getting a stomach ache!” to which the Fāriyāq replied, “The stomach ache isn’t all from Zayd and ʿAmr,273 Master Shaykh. The worms have a role to play in it too, for there’s nothing I eat that they haven’t got to before my stomach does.” “Never mind,” replied the shaykh, “Perhaps the blessings of scholarship will provide some relief.” Around this time, the Fāriyāq happened to be asked by an acquaintance if he could study274 with the aforementioned shaykh the book the Christians study on the Mountain, namely the Baḥth al-maṭālib.275 when this acquaintance had gone through it all, he asked the shaykh to write him a certificate allowing him to teach the book in his own country,276 which the shaykh did, showing the result to the Fāriyāq. when the latter examined it, he found mistakes in the language and the inflections, and he asked his shaykh if he might point the errors out to him. On examining them, the shaykh said, 2.18.1 2.18.2 [13.59.195.118] Project MUSE (2024-04-25 00:34 GMT) 384 384 ‫ب‬ �� �‫ر‬‫�م‬ ‫ل‬ �� ‫ا‬ ‫ض‬ �‫م‬� ‫ة‬ ��‫ض‬ ��‫ل‬��‫ة‬ �‫ض‬ � � ‫م‬� ‫ض‬ �‫ا‬‫و‬�‫ل‬� �

He alerted his shaykh to the mistakes, but the latter told him, “You write him whatever you want.” This was despite the fact that the shaykh was as well versed in the science of grammar as anyone could be and was capable of devoting a whole hour to the analysis of just part of a sentence.
