Title: Racines Abnaquises, [1689-1699]
Identifier(s): text:286057
Description: An early Abenaki dictionary described by Frank Siebert as " an anonymous manuscript...preserved in the Archives of the Séminaire de Québec, Université Laval, in Québec City.... undated but apparently older than the works of Rasles and Aubery, and was almost certainly composed at Sillery near Québec, or less likely at St. Francis de Sales...sometime between 1675 and 1695, but probably during the 1680s." ("The Penobscot Dictionary Project: Preferences and Problems of Format, Presentation, and Entry," 1980). Siebert later thought that the author was either Jean Vignier at Sillery from 1689-1699, or Auguste Le Blanc, at St. Francis de Sales on the Chaudière from 1697 to 1701-1703. Siebert's copy is a combination of photostats of the original pasted into a notebook with handwritten annotation by Siebert on facing pages.
