Uploaded with ImageShack.us



Bonjour TLM,
Par hasard, en cherchant des caractères nôm, je viens d’apprendre que le grand spécialiste de nos écritures Hán-Nôm, le P. An-tôn Trần Văn Kiệm, est décédé le 16 juin dernier à l’âge de 92 ans.
Nombre d’entre nous avons bénéficié de ses recherches et de ses publications, principalement à travers son fameux dictionnaire Giúp Đọc Nôm và Hán-Việt.
Adieu, Très Révérend Père, vous méritez bien du paradis !
Dông Phong

“Father Anthony Tran Van Kiem (L.m. An-tôn Trần văn Kiệm) died on June 16, 2012 at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Father Kiem was 92 years old and a priest for 62 years.
Father Kiem was born on Dec. 31, 1920 in Phát Diệm, Vietnam, and was ordained a priest on June 29, 1946 for the Diocese of Phát Diệm. In 1975 he was accepted into the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, Florida. He retired to Seadrift, Texas, in 1991 but continued to serve the Vietnamese fishing village there until 2006 when he moved to Atlanta.
Those who value the cultural heritage of Vietnam written in the medieval Hán-Nôm scripts will be forever grateful to Father Anthony for his Giúp Đọc Nôm và Hán-Việt, his ground-breaking life-work which was one of the first modern dictionaries of these pre-modern writing systems.
It was an honor for our Foundation to work with Father Anthony, digitizing his dictionary, publishing it in print in True Type Fonts in 2004, and subsequently making it available at this website”.
