GD - Wörterbuch Altgriechisch-Deutsch

Finally, Franco Monatanaris standard work GI: Vocabolario della Lingua Greca (3rd ed., Loescher Editore, Turin 2013), the most comprehensive Greek lexicon, is being made available in German translation. With its 140,000 entries, the Wörterbuch Altgriechisch-Deutsch (Greek-German Dictionary), edited by Michael Meier-Brügger and Paul Dräger, covers the full history of Old Greek, from the archaic to the early Byzantine period, drawing on literary texts as well as papyri and inscriptions as sources. Due to the clear structure and presentation of its lemmata, as well as the extensive translation examples it provides, this dictionary is an indispensable tool not just for scholars but also for teachers, school pupils, and students.
