PREFACE T O THE SECOND EDITION

In the years since its publication, this lexicon has served well as a

classroom tool. Over the years, however, reviewers and colleagues have

pointed out errors and suggested improvements, and I am grateful to Scholars

Press, in republishing the book, for allowing me to incorporate most of these

suggestions. Hardly a page has been left without some refinement. I will

discuss some more general matters in this preface.

The transliterations of the letters have provoked comment, but they are

from the system reconmiended by the Society of Biblical Literature's

"Instructions for Contributors." The names of the letters are from late

manuscripts, often in the Bohairic dialect, and are given simply for their

usefulness.In the year this lexicon was first published, a popular introductory

grammar of the language also appeared (Lambdin, 1983), but for an overview

of the grammar more consistent with this lexicon, see Emmel, 1992 (which

contains a good bibHography of Coptology), and the forthcoming grammar of

Bentley Layton. The Bibliography of this lexicon ("Resources") remains a list

of sources used in its compilation.

Much unpubhshed Nag Hammadi material that I had access to over a

decade ago is now published in the E. J. Brill series of editions with Coptic

indexes. The French language editions, in the series Bibliotheque Copte de NagHammadiy published by the University of Laval, is, as of 1992, being

accompanied by complete computer generated concordances to each codex.

On the publication of this second edition I would like to thank my

students from over the years, who challenged nearly every entry in its pages.

Also, once again, thanks to Richard Whitaker not only for typesetting, but for

designing Coptic fonts. Finally, I want to thank the Society of Biblical

Literature for awarding this project a research grant which helped prepare the

manuscript for publication.

PREFACE T O THE FIRST EDITION

This small Coptic lexicon has its origin in a word list compiled for

students. The unavailability of a student dictionary had presented an obstacle

to the teaching of the language. The work thusgrew out of a classroom setting.

It is intended primarily for beginners, yet its handy size may also make it auseful reference for advanced readers. Several colleagues, also faced with the

need for such a book, encouraged its publication.

Coptology is fortunate to have among its tools one of the finest of

ancient language dictionaries, that by W. E. Crum. Crum's dictionary is

essential for understanding the meanings of Coptic words. The student is

discouraged from using this concise lexicon to the exclusion of Crum,

especially as he or she progresses. Crum's dictionary, unfortunately, is

convenient in neither size nor price. The present dictionary is designed to be

both handy and affordable. During the years since Crum's great work was

published, a few minor corrections have been made to the placement or

understanding of certain words. Where I am aware of these, I have taken them

into account.

In compiling this lexicon I received helpful suggestions, specific and

general, from many scholars. I thank them all, especially Stephen Emmel. All

final decisions, however, including those found to be erroneous, are my own.

For the design and technical production of the book, I am grateful to Richard

Whitaker. Two of my students have been indispensible. Frans Huizengahelped prepare the manuscript for publication and Deborah Ellens performed

the rigorous task of putting it into the computer. Finally, I would like to give

my deeply felt thanks to James M. Robinson and the staff of the Institute for

Antiquity and Christianity in Claremont, California, James Brashler, James

Goehring and Marvin Meyer. They not only assisted with this project but also

gave enduring encouragement to my studies.

INTRODUCTION

USING THE LEXICON

The words are alphabetized, as in Crum's dictionary, primarily by root

consonants and then by the vowels within the structure of consonants. A

glance down the first dozen or so words under B , for example, should make the

system clear. Words having an initial vowel are alphabetized by that vowel and

then by the consonantal root. This system is practical because the root of a

Coptic word is its consonants. Thus all forms, derivatives and variant spellings

can be placed under one main entry. Since a primary concern of this lexicon is

to be helpful to students, many forms that are difficult to recognize are

cross-listed, a brief definition is given, and the abbreviation v. directs attention

to the main entry. Most forms resulting simply from vowel reduction have notbeen cross-listed. Therefore, many prenominal and presuffixal forms beginning

with a short vowel can be found under a longer vowel: for on^ look up con. In

Nag Hammadi texts, the o sometimes shifts to x, thus for xu^ look up con.

Since Coptic and English belong to different language famiUes, and

Coptic words are not always described by the word class of their English

translation, this lexicon usually avoids giving parts of speech. With

substantives, the gender is an unportant consideration in translating, and this is

noted m. (masculine) or f. (feminine). When the gender is not known, this

lexicon simply indicates n. (noun). An adjectival definition following a noun

usually relates to the use of that noun in an attributive relationship. Any

Coptic infinitive can be used as a masculine noun. In this lexicon, where the

nominal definitions are given, they are separated from the verbal definitions

by a semicolon.

Many compound nouns with such common prefixes as ^ T - , M N T - , pR,

peq-, and 6 I N - are not listed in this lexicon, nor are many of the compound

verbs formed with such words as K 3 t - , p-, f-, ^n-, qi-, and x\'. The lexicon

does, however, contain all of the compounds listed by Bruce Metzger asoccurring frequently in the Coptic New Testament.

Many grammatical forms are given in the lexicon which may be

especially helpful to beginners. The proper translation of such material is

determined by context. It is included here more as a convenience than as a

guide. I assume that this book will be used in conjunction with the study of

grammar.

In the interest of simplicity, the lexicon is not exhaustive with regard to

variants in spelling. Words spelled withT, for instance, may also be spelled with

x ii Coptic-EnglishLexicon

e j , and vice versa. Likewise, y sometimes interchange. The use of

supralinear strokes is limited to the sonants B , A , M, N , and p . Actual scribal

systems of supralineation varied from manuscript to manuscript.

GREEK WORDS IN COPTIC

A complete Coptic vocabulary properly includes many words derived

from Greek. A dictionary of this vocabulary has never been ventured, though

it is greatly needed. In reading Coptic texts, one must work with a Greek

lexicon and suffer the problems that arise from partial assimilation of the

words to the Coptic language. A few, indeed, have found their way directly

into Coptic dictionaries, e.g., B ^ C A O T from | j .r|XwTf]. However, since most

Greek derivatives are not included in Coptic dictionaries, a few remarks on

their nature might be helpful.

Greek adjectives are used in Coptic as nouns. Nouns derived from

Greek retain their masculine or feminine gender. A s there is no Coptic neuter,

neuter nouns become masculine. Verbs derived from Greek tend to appear in

the Greek present imperative form. In all dialects but Sahidic, and frequently

in the Nag Hammadi texts, these verbs require the Coptic auxiliar verb p-

(from eipe do).

Greek words may appear in Coptic in non-classical Greek spellings. Forthe Greek rough breathing, Coptic tends to use e, but will sometimes also use

this letter to aspirate words that, in Greek, have a smooth breathing: e'KcuN

for E L k w v . Non-classical manuscripts may employ unexpected aspiration, so

that in the version of The Apocryphon of John in Nag Hammadi Codex III we

find ^iMa^pMeNH, in the Codex II version cyiM^LpMeNH, and in the Codex IV

version JCiMipMeNH for eL|jiap}j,€vrj.

A few Greek words developed Coptic forms: v j / Y x o o y e and

r p ^ < | > o o Y e as the plurals souls and scriptures. K a r d and -rrocpd developed the

presuffixal forms KXTX[>O^ and n^pi^po*^. Coptic texts use the standardGreek abbreviations for sacred names such asT^ for ' Irjcro'Oq. A list of these

is given in most of the grammars.

T H E N A G H A M M A D I CODICES

A single archaeological event is responsible for most of the recent

interest in Coptic studies: the discovery in 1945 of a collection of Gnostic texts

near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. Because of the importance of these texts, thepublisher encouraged the compiler of this lexicon to make it more useful for

Nag Hammadi reading. Doing this required certain format decisions that have

to be explained. Most Coptic teaching and reference materials describe the

classical Sahidic dialect of the language. The texts of the Coptic-Gnostic

library show us a rather mchoate stage of the language. Codices I, X, and the

first two tractates of Codex XI are primarily in the Subachmimic dialect. The

bulk of the Nag Hammadi Library gives the general appearance of Sahidic, yet

betrays characteristics of Subachmimic and occasionally dialects spoken even

further down the N i l e , Fayyumic and Bohairic. Moreover, certain words and

characteristics labeled by Crum as "archaic" or "older MSS" appear in the Nag

Introduction

Hanmiadi texts. Many words and spellings that appear in the Nag Hammadi

texts were previously unattested.

The most notable of the features differing from standard Sahidic are

several shifts among the vowels, primarily ^ for o, x for e, and e for x.'\ isfrequently written ei following vowels. Double vowels can become single, and

single vowels double. A final e is sometimes added after a consonant. The

supralinear stroke can be used to indicate e ( ^ N - for the plural indefinite

article zeu-, occasionally in the possessive articles nR-, etc.). N - can be

assimilated to p Q^pcoMe) or B ^ B A x e ) . The full form of a verb can be used

as a prenominal form, p - is often used as an auxiliary with Greek verbs, N -

sometimes appears before Greek conjunctions:Rrxp, N A B , M M € N .

This lexicon is fundamentally a Sahidic lexicon. All material not

considered by Crum to be standard Sahidic has been bracketed. Also

bracketed are a few words labeled Sahidic by Crum but whose attestation

appears confined to the Coptic Gnostic corpus, e.g. ^cocyq. Not every spelling

variant is listed. Most conjectural readings and some hapax legomena have

been excluded. Nonetheless, the words listed provide a large enough

vocabulary for the reading of Nag Hammadi texts along with standard texts

such as the Coptic New Testament,

Enclosure of material in brackets is not a statement about Coptic

dialects. It should be understood that there is no Nag Hammadi dialect, nor is

there much consistency in dialect from codex to codex nor often even from

tractate to tractate. The coming years will see the continued study of the

language in which these texts are written. Doubtless a definitive treatment,

perhaps even a revision of Crum's dictionary, will result. In the meantime, I

hope this modest book encourages the reading of Nag Hammadi texts by those

whose interest is not primarily linguistic but rather the appreciation and

interpretation of these most intriguing documents.
