%X This study examines the transmission and reception of Arabic   grammatical knowledge within the pesantren tradition of Cirebon through an in  depth analysis of three locally written commentaries (sharḥ) on al-Jurumiyyah:   Zubdat an-Naqiyyah by KH Aqil Siroj (Kempek), Tahrīran Jurūmiyyah by KH   Muhammad (Kebon Jambu), and Tahrīrān al-Jurūmiyyah by KH Asmawi (Az  Ziyadah). The research is motivated by the strong tradition of instrumental   sciences (ʿilm al-ālah—particularly naḥw and ṣarf) in Cirebon’s salafiyah   pesantren, which historically functioned as key centers for the pedagogy of kitab   kuning in West Java. Design/Method/Approach — Employing an applied   philological approach, reception analysis, and educational ethnography, this study   traces the chains of scholarly transmission, the structural characteristics of local   sharḥ compositions, and the pedagogical strategies implemented through   bandongan, sorogan, lalaran, and oral–written examinations. Findings — The   findings reveal that vernacular sharḥ function both as instructional tools facilitating   comprehension of classical Arabic texts and as a form of vernacularization of   Arabic grammar that demonstrates pesantren scholars’ capacity for local   intellectual reproduction. Pedagogical technologies such as makna gandul   (symbolic markers such as ر, ن, ج), contextual iʿrāb examples, applicative   explanations, and Cirebonese idioms significantly assist beginner students in   internalizing grammatical principles. Research Implications — This study   concludes that the Cirebonese local sharḥ tradition plays a significant role in   preserving the continuity of the classical naḥw curriculum while simultaneously   enriching context-based models of Arabic grammatical learning within the   pesantren educational system.
