The Arabic English Lexicon of 1893 by Edward William Lane in eight volumes is the monumental standard work of reference for Classical Arabic in western scholarship.

Lane died in 1876, before he could finish the Lexicon, and the task was continued by Stanley Lane-Poole. However after the letter Qāf, the information given for each letter is more sparse.
