Born in 1937 in Ramat Gan, a city in central Israel, the late Prof. Aryeh Levin was one of the leading figures in the research of Arabic grammarians in general and Sībawayhi in particular. His notable contributions include numerous articles about Sībawayh’s Kitāb and later grammarians’ treatises.

Aryeh was a lively and beloved friend in the FAL community and was glad to participate in its conferences, initiatives and publications. He passed away in Modi’in, Israel, in 2023, leaving behind unfinished works and illuminating insights on Arabic grammatical thought that are written clearly and thus serve as excellent tools for both students and researchers.
