It is one of the books recommended by contemporary linguists to start learning this science because it can provide what is necessary to know for beginners in morphology.

I have written a commentary on this book to clarify some vague short expressions, to supplement the examples given in it, to provide extra necessary principles, and to point out some of the mistakes present in the book which naturally occur in any book written by man. This commentary is very important and must be used alongside the teaching of this book.
