Liddell and Scott Greek-English Lexicon	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Bible of classical scholars (that is, with the exception of those whose sacred scripture is Lewis & Short) and the Tome of Eldritch Lore for many students of Classics. With over 80 editions and over 20.000 entries, it is the Greek-English lexicon. Its three versions (of which two are abbreviated) are nicknamed, accordingly, Big Liddell (or Great Scott), Middle Liddell, and Little Liddell, two of these sobriquets producing nice metrical effects familiar to the students of classic Greek (which apparently was sung rather than spoken).For whole generations it has been the key to understanding many texts which are Older Than Feudalism, such as Homer’s The Iliad, Plato’s The Republic, or the Gospels. If it comes to literary meaning of the book, one of its authors (Henry George Liddell) was the father of Alice of Wonderland. (Judging from some conversations in Lewis Carroll's books – especially the one with Humpty Dumpty – in this case the knack for philology went in the family.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })A complete, freely accessible online version can be found here, as part of the Perseus Digital Library.

Liddell and Scott Greek-English Lexicon / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The preface describes the process of preparing the dictionary - very impressive, as this was before the digital age, and everything had to be done without the help of databases, text editors, and DTP applications. The sole fact that it has been published nearly two hundred years ago (first edition is from 1819) and is used as the standard Greek-English dictionary by classical philologists means something.
