Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to presents new insight into an unpublished manuscript entitled an-Namliyya fī iẓhār al-qawāʻid aṣ-ṣarfiyya wa an-naḥwiyya, the work on Arabic grammar written at the middle of the seventeenth century (1642–43) by ʻAbdulkamāl Ismāʻīl ibn al-Ḥāğğ al-Walī al-Trāwnīkī. Two manuscripts of this work are preserved in the manuscript collections of the Gazi Husrev-bey Library, and the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo. This research aims to explore the content of the chapter more thoroughly, specifically the one on verbs, the shortest of the three in this manuscript. In the content overview, the original passages of the text are occasionally transferred from the manuscript and their translation to Bosnian is offered. In addition to this, information on the social context in which the work was created, but also on the context in which the work was discovered, recorded, catalogued and presented to the public for the first time are provided. Although the goal of this paper is not a textological analysis of the two available manuscripts, significant content differences between them are presented.‎
