Work on rhetoric
Ahmad b. 'Ata' Allah al-Azhari was the author of a work on rhetoric written in 1161 AH (1748), entitled Nihayat al-i'jaz fi 'l-haqiqa wa 'l-majaz (the title is partly garbled in the scan). The work, with a commentary by the author's son, is known through a manuscript described by Ahlwardt. 1
