Description
This Dictionary of Proper Names and Foreign Words in the Book of Mormon represents the culmination of more than a decade of study and discussion of the origins and meanings of Book of Mormon names. Those discussions took place regularly at Brigham Young University’s Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship under the leadership of Professor Paul Y. Hoskisson, director of the Laura F. Willis Center for Book of Mormon Studies. They resulted in the electronic “Book of Mormon Onomasticon.”1 All of the collaborators on this volume—John Gee, Paul Y. Hoskisson, Stephen D. Ricks, and Robert F. Smith—have been trained in various ancient languages: Classical Greek, Latin, Biblical Hebrew and the Semitic languages, Egyptian, and ancient Mesopotamian languages and dialects and have, in previously published and unpublished materials, contributed to an understanding of the ancient Near Eastern origins of Book of Mormon names.2 With great appreciation we follow in the steps of our predecessors in the study of Book of Mormon names— Janne M. Sjodahl, Hugh W. Nibley, and John A. Tvedtnes.
