Nephite Uses And Interpretations Of Zenos, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
The allegory of the olive tree attributed to the ancient prophet Zenos and copied from the plates of brass into the small plates by Jacob was a source used by several Book of Mormon prophets. Lehi, Nephi, Jacob, and Alma seemed to be relying on the allegory at several points in the elaboration of their own visions, prophecies, and teachings. This paper provides a systematic documentation of this phenomenon, including passages that have not previously been linked to Zenos.

The direct precursor of the modern librarian or archivist was the medieval scribe or notary. This person was responsible for the production or identification, storage, and retrieval of information and was the first information manager since antiquity to use vernacular languages in documents and books. The medieval information manager was highly educated and was often a prestigious and powerful official in whom important information and state secrets were entrusted.

These procedures developed into many of the practices …

In 1866, Thomas Jose was brought to trial for killing an Indian, and he was convicted for murder. Even though his punishment was relatively mild, the justice system was made to work in defense of the Indians.

“Names, Hypocoristic,” In Anchor Bible Dictionary, Dana M. Pike
Faculty Publications
A hypocoristicon is generally a single-element name resulting from the shortening of an originally longer one. Hebrew names and Semitic names in general, were often composed of two elements (or, as was often the case in Akkadian names and sometimes the case with West Semitic ones, three elements) which formed a nominal or verbal sentence.

Zonificación Dialectal Del Español En América, Orlando Alba

La dicotomia que opone «el espanol de America» a «el espanol de Espana» ha sido acunada desde hace mucho tiempo por diversos investigadores de la dialectologia hispanica. En el fondo, tales designaciones son inapropiadas en cuanto que se basan en una suposicion: la existencia de dos realidades o entidades linguisticas unitarias, susceptibles de ser clasificadas o encasilladas dentro de categorias homogeneas. lmplican, de hecho, un grado elevado de generalizacion que simplifica exageradamente la variada realidad linguistica del extenso mundo hispanohablante. Una ligera observacion de los aspectos rigurosamente estudiados hasta ahora de la lengua hablada en el Nuevo Continente permite descubrir …
