ACADEMY OF SAINT GABRIEL REPORT 1080 http://www.s-gabriel.org/1080 ************************************ From: "S Friedemann" 1 Jul 1998 Greetings from the Academy of Saint Gabriel! You were looking for information on how to construct Persian names, and wondered if it was possible to use the same practices that the Arabs did. Here is what we have found. Unfortunately, we know very little about period Persian naming practices, and have nothing that we can tell you about them. You mentioned in your letter that you had found a source with many Persian names in it. What was this source? We have found very few references to period names in Persia, and are interested in looking at what you found. We're sorry that we could not be more useful to you, and hope that you will write again if you have further questions. Research and commentary on this letter was provided by Arval Benicoeur. For the Academy, --Arianuia filia Catmaili July 1, 1998
