The Brill Greek dictionary is essentially based—note, however, a number of additional entries as well as several improvements—on the third Italian edition of the Vocabolario della lingua greca (2013; previous editions: 2004, 1995). The dictionary has been fitted with a handy visual guide (on the inside of the front cover), and features two prefaces, one by F. Montanari and another by G. Nagy, L. Muellner and M. Goh, as well as various lists of abbreviations: technical terms and glottonyms (in fact, both lists are reproduced on the inside of the back cover), literary authors and works, papyrological sources, epigraphic sources. The main body of the dictionary contains around 140.000 alphabetically ordered entries, which essentially cover the period 8th c. BC – 6th c. AD (but cf. also some sporadic later forms). Among the numerous entries of the lexicon one will also find proper names, notably from literary sources, which undoubtedly constitute one of the dictionary’s highlights, given that this is hardly the norm for reference dictionaries (cf. e.g. LSJ). The clear layout of the entries, including handy graphic symbols, special marking-up for forms that occur exclusively in non-literary sources, etc., reflects the advances of modern lexicography; in that respect, the Brill Greek dictionary comes closer to the user- friendly format of e.g. the Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) than to the more parochial and less neat look of LSJ. In each entry, the Greek headword (e.g. διολκή, -ῆς, ἡ) is often, yet not always (see below) followed by an etymological reference in square brackets ([διέλκω]); the English meaning(s), categorized according to semantic fields, are next in line (‘traction, dragging || divergence of opinion, discord || extraction (of a fetus)’); finally, there are citations of Greek authors and works as well as common quotations of relevant Greek forms / excerpts, especially in the case of a hapax legomenon. Last but not least, the principal parts of the verbs (ca. 15.000 entries) as well as other dialectal forms (besides Attic) are conveniently cited too.
Winner of the 2016 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek is the English translation of Franco Montanari's Vocabolario della Lingua Greca. With an established reputation as the most important modern dictionary for Ancient Greek, it brings together 140,000 headwords taken from the literature, papyri, inscriptions and other sources of the archaic period up to the 6th Century CE, and occasionally beyond.The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek is an invaluable companion for the study of Classics and Ancient Greek, for beginning students and advanced scholars alike. Translated and edited under the auspices of The Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC, The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek is based on the completely revised 3rd Italian edition published in 2013 by Loescher Editore, Torino. The dictionary is also available as an online resource. Features-The principal parts of some 15,000 verbs are listed directly following the entry and its etymology. For each of these forms, the occurrence in the ancient texts has been certified. When found only once, the location is cited.-Nearly all entries include citations from the texts with careful mention of the source.-The dictionary is especially rich in personal names re-checked against the sources for the 3rd Italian edition, and in scientific terms, which have been categorized according to discipline. -Each entry has a clear structure and typography making it easy to navigate."For a number of years now, scholars at ease in Italian have benefitted enormously from the riches, layout, concision, and accuracy of Professor Montanari's Vocabolario della Lingua Greca, with its added advantage of the inclusion of names. Hence classicists in general will welcome the English version of this very valuable resource." Professor Richard Janko, University of Michigan"Franco Montanari is a giant in our field, and his Dictionary is a major leap forward for us...."
