وَكُتَّابُنَا هَذَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ الْمُنْتَهِيُ،

And this book of ours is needed by the advanced student,

وَكُتَّابُنَا and our scribes

A noun fronted by 'wa-' (and) and closed by '-na', an 'our' glued to its end, so one word holds connector, noun, and possessor. The 'wa-' ties the clause to the passage and the suffix marks the work as 'ours'; the source spelling is ambiguous between a singular and a plural reading.
