Abstract:
This is the 1826 edition of the Burmese-English dictionary compiled from a
grammar and other manuscripts written by the American Baptist missionary
Adoniram Judson (1788–1850), with additional content by fellow missionaries
Felix Carey and James Coleman. Prepared by the Baptist Mission Press while
Judson was imprisoned on suspicion of spying in Ava, it is the fruit of his
work
towards making the written word an evangelistic tool. He was convinced from
the first that the translation and publication of Christian scriptures and a
familiarity with indigenous languages and customs was the most effective and
enduring form of evangelism, and to this end he published a Burmese New
Testament in 1832. Judson finished compiling his groundbreaking and
comprehensive bilingual dictionary in 1849, shortly before his death. This
earlier
work, with headwords in Burmese script followed by English definitions,
remains
relevant in historical linguistics.
