One of the earliest versions of Simeon Jughayetsi's seminal Grammar, originally written in 1637. In this treatise, the author, also known as Simeon of Djougha, elaborates the first complete grammar of the Armenian language, systematically addressing phonetics, morphology and syntax. For several decades, the work became the standard textbook in Armenian schools, playing a central role in the teaching of the language. It also served as the basis for many subsequent grammars, exerting a lasting influence on the Armenian grammatical tradition. Provenance: BIB. DOM. / LAVAL. S. J. / (label on back cover).
