Lexicographica Graeca: Contributions to the Lexicography of Ancient Greek 1st Edition by John Chadwick (PDF)

Description

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.

Editorial Reviews: Review “Chadwick’s salty style combined with the semantic insights and lexicographic tips that he offers make a fascinating book which, though certainly browsable, may be read from cover to cover.”–Bryn Mawr Classical Review From the Back Cover G. Liddell and R. Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon (revised and augmented by H. S. Jones in 1940) has been the essential tool of advanced Greek scholars for 150 years; in order to update it a new Supplement has been published (1996), replacing that of 1968. In this provocative reconsideration both of its lexicographical principles and of individual articles, John Chadwick examines the need for further revision and expansion of the volume through a reexamination of the classical Greek vocabulary. A series of notes are presented, making important and stimulating contributions to the study of classical Greek lexicography, and offering many new interpretations of passages from familiar authors based upon a lexicographic approach. Essential reading for all scholars of classical creek. About the Author John Chadwick is Emeritus Reader in Classics, University of Cambridge, and Honorary Fellow Downing College, Cambridge.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The late Professor Chadwick has left us with a fine work herein. In its 320 pages, he presents the reader with a lifetime of insights into Greek lexicography. He wonderfully critizes the Oxford Greek Lexicon (Liddell, Scott) adding numerous suggestions. This price of $85.00 seems a bit high, I purchased the book new from Oxford for $52.00 several years ago. For $85.00 one would expect nice signature binding, but it is instead glue/injected bound, still it is durable. courtesy of Mr. Gary S. Dykes
