"The Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell and Scott is one of the most famous dictionaries
in the world, and for the past century-and-a-half has been a constant and indispensable
presence in teaching, learning, and research on ancient Greek throughout the English-speaking
world and beyond. Despite continuous modification and updating, it is still recognizably
a Victorian creation; at the same time, however, it carries undiminished authority
both for its account of the Greek language and for its system of organizing and presenting
linguistic data. 0The present volume brings together essays by twenty-two scholars
on all aspects of the history, constitution, and problematics of this extraordinary
work, enabling the reader both to understand its complex history and to appreciate
it as a monument to the challenges and pitfalls of classical scholarship. The contributors
have combined a variety of approaches and methodologies - historical, philological,
theoretical - in order to situate the book within the various disciplines to which
it is relevant, from semantics, lexicography, and historical linguistics, to literary
theory, Victorian studies, and the history of the book. Paying tribute to the Lexicon's
enormous effect on the evolving theory and practice of lexicography, it also includes
a section looking forward to new developments in dictionary-making in the digital
age, bringing comprehensively up to date the question of what the future holds for
this fascinating and perplexing monument to the challenges of understanding an ancient
language"
