Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Recollect Brother Gabriel Sagard's 144-page French-Huron
dictionary, first published in 1632, is one of the earliest
dictionaries of any Native American language and is the foundation
of French missionary studies in Iroquoian. This exhaustive new
edition by renowned Huron scholar John Steckley is a complete
translation of this historic dictionary. It begins with a thorough
introduction, including extensive notes on Huron linguistic
variation and dialect differences, featuring comparisons with other
Iroquoian languages. This introduction also breaks new ground in
offering evidence of a trade language or pidgin with a St. Lawrence
Iroquoian component-the first definitive evidence of the survival
of that language since it was first encountered by Cartier in the
1530s. The dictionary section is a direct translation from Sagard's
original text, featuring the original French entry, a newly-added
English translation, and then the corresponding Huron phrase with
added etymological and comparative analyses. Steckley also
complements Sagard's phrase-based arrangement with a complete index
to the over 230 Huron noun stems and 360 verb stems featured in the
dictionary-the first such indexing since the work's original
publication and an invaluable asset for detailed linguistic study
of early Huron.
