Description

Explore the history of language through Bloomsbury's Classical Dictionaries: Past, Present and Future. This groundbreaking work serves as the first book dedicated to this specific subject, providing a wide-ranging introduction to Latin and Greek dictionaries from antiquity to the modern era. Readers can examine well-known references like Liddell and Scott or the Oxford Latin Dictionary alongside less common genres such as etymological dictionaries and lexica of single authors. The text goes beyond simple definitions by analyzing the human stories of the makers and the nature of lexica as cultural enterprises. Through specific case studies of individual word treatments, this book offers a deep look into the evolution of classical scholarship and the people behind the texts.
