Publisher's Synopsis
A Lenape-English Dictionary is a book that contains a comprehensive list of words and phrases from the Lenape language, which was spoken by the Lenape people, a Native American tribe that lived in the northeastern United States. The dictionary was compiled from an anonymous manuscript that was discovered in the archives of the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1889. The book is authored by Daniel Garrison Brinton, an American archaeologist, ethnologist, and linguist who specialized in the study of Native American cultures. Brinton's work includes a detailed introduction to the Lenape language and its grammar, as well as an explanation of the manuscript's origins and historical context. The dictionary itself contains over 3,000 entries, accompanied by English translations and examples of how the words were used in context. This book is an important resource for scholars and students of Native American languages and cultures, as well as for anyone interested in the history and language of the Lenape people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
