Opis

Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon has been the essential tool of advanced Greek scholars for 150 years; in order to update it a new Supplement has been published (OUP 1996) replacing that of 1968. Reconsidering the Supplement's lexicographical principles and individual articles, Chadwick argues for further revision and expansion, and offers many new interpretations of familiar Greek literary passages based upon a lexicographic approach.

Recenzje

C. also sets out his principles of lexicographical research in an introduction which gives a fascinating insight into his working methods. The range of texts and subjects covered by this book is vast ... C. gives such a generous selection of texts, and presents his case so clearly, that the reader is able to make an independent judgement ... It is a great merit of this book that it challenges and inspires readers to become their own lexicographers.
