Wonderful work on the well loved scholar Hugh Nibley. Love his works and will fondly remeber his great contributions to gospel scholarship.

Is it correct to call Mark Hoffmana "fellow" prisoner? Doesn't that imply Hugh Nibley was a criminal ?

As an adult convert to the Church, i learned of Hugh Nibley through many missionaries - who had lived in my missionary apartment - talk about classes they later took with him at BYU. So I began purchasing all the FARMS articles I could find at BYU by him and purchasing his books. I quickly understood the GREAT gift to the Church and the world that Hugh Nibley is. He learned all the ancient languages we never could and read all the ancient manuscripts we never could and then opened them up to us. He gave us access to a world I would /could never have known. It built my testimony tremendously. Remember his beautiful translation of the ancient Hymn of the Pearl? I am so thankful for his mind, his intellect, his will to learn and to share, his dedicating his life to enlightening us. Hugh Nibley concentrated on the essential questions - those of eternity. Soooo what did Plato and Aristotle do to be remembered so long - that Hugh Nibley did not?
