This is one of those indispensible tools that the student of the Greek language must NOT be without. While not as in-depth as the "Great Scott" the "Middle Lidell" is priced very well and is has more than enough references and is more than concise for an advanced study of the language of Ancient Greece.I would highly recommend this Lexicon over the other versions of the Lidell-Scott series due to its size and price. From the most advanced to the beginning students this lexicon will find a very useful place in any students library.
Although at times the type size of the "Middle Liddell" can be a bit small for tired eyes, this version of this standard work is perfect for the student of ancient Greek. It is physically much smaller and more manageable than the full size Liddell and Scott (also known as the "Big Liddell" or the "Great Scott"), yet far more complete than the smallest version of the series. I have found few words that are not in this intermediate lexicon, and those were all of a very specific and rare dialect. I would heartily recommend this particular volume, particularly in comparison with the unwieldy larger version. The intermediate lexicon is comphrensive, useful for all periods of ancient Greek, and is not too large to carry in a backpack or briefcase. Best of all, it is far cheaper than the "Great Scott"!
I purchased this Greek lexicon for my beginner's Greek class during my Sophmore year of college and I would never dream of using anything else; No matter what other lexicons I have sampled or used, I still maintain that the Liddell and Scott is the definitive and best lexicon avaialable for both New Testament students and Classical Greek students alike. The entries are succinct yet informative, listing numerous uses of prepositions and naming constructions. Furthermore, word entries display where certain words are used in specific Greek texts and gives varying definitions for each different usage. Another nice aspect is that the compilers studied the usage of words all the way from Homeric Greek to New Testament Koine Greek, so you are definitely getting a full range of definitions. This is easily a must have purchase for any serious Greek student and one that you will not soon regret.
I've been studying Greek for a year now and I wish I had started with this dictionary. I have both the "Giant" and the "Abridged" Liddell/Scott, but these were too big and too small. Also, neither of these is as clear as the "Intermediate".The Complete Liddell/Scott obviously has its place, but I haven't needed it more than rarely since I got this version.I guess I'm not saying anything which was not already stated in the other reviews, but I wish someone had made this clear to me a year ago.
This Lexicon is reasonably priced for the newer student of Greek or for a travel companion. It contains many varieties and uses for the words. It is well organized for easy location of words. It also has many of the various forms of the words listed with a redirection to the root form. This Lexicon is good for Homer through Biblical. Please email me if you have any questions about this text.
The print in this book was so blurry that I had to send it back. Greek uses a lotof little accent marks, and you need clear print to be able to see them. It wasa huge mistake to compromise on the print quality.
The Intermediate Greek Lexicon based on Liddell and Scott (7th ed.) is a wonderful translatioin tool, with many difficult verb forms included and also basic source citations to help choose the correct sense. Additionally, it is of a size and weight that you can carry in your backpack or shoulder bag.However, OUP apparently contracted with a Spanish printing company to print the most recent printing, and both copies I received from had many pages that were wrinkled. It appeared to have happened after the printing (in the assembling and binding, perhaps), since the words on the pages were clear and complete, but it was disappointing. I expect OUP was trying to keep costs down, but quality suffered.BW.
When traslating Patristic Greek, I always consult this dictionary first and nearly always find what I need there. The Complete Handbook of Greek Verbs is also indispensable. For words not found in the Intermediate Lexicon, I consult two larger ones, the "Great Scott" for obscure vocabulary, especially verbs with prefixes, and the Lampe Lexicon for theological and ecclesiastical terms. I am currently engaged in a big project, checking and editing two volumes of translations for the Society of Biblical Literature. I have worn out my copy of the Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon and plan to order another one.
