Subject: TLG Searches have reduced the importance of LSJ and Lexica in general?
I am forwarding the note of Gregory Crane (addressed to the Classics List),
who heads up the Perseus Project and the web site at Tufts that houses the
current LSJ lexicon on line, thinking that this is an issue that is as much
of concern to students and scholars of the GNT as it is to those concerned
more with secular classical and Hellenistic Greek texts. There have already
been some interesting responses to Greg's note, and some B-Greekers might
like to have a look at the developing thread. You can do so by going to the
Classics List web site:
<http://weber.u.washington.edu/~lwright/classics.html>
and looking at the archives. Our illustrious web-lady, Linda Wright, there
posts every day the digest composed off the previous day's posts to the
lists. Especially as not everyone will be interested, this seems better
than forwarding the thread over to b-greek (and I don't particularly want
to ask for those permissions). I had an e-discussion last week with a NT
scholar who seemed to doubt the continuing value of lexica so long as one
has access to the TLG list. That seems short-sighted to me, however,
particularly as so much information continues to come to light from the
papyri that bears especially upon Hellenistic vocabulary and therefore on
the GNT. I cannot see, personally, how the utility of lexica could ever
become an anachronism.
