The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek
The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek is the English translation of Franco Montanari’s
Vocaboiario deUa Lingua Greca. With 140,000 entries this is the most important
modern dictionary for Ancient Greek and an invaluable tool for students and
advanced scholars alike.
Franco Montanari is Professor of Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Genoa
(Italy), Director of the “Rivista di Filologia e di Istruzione Ciassica”, of the “Centro Italiano
deiiAnnee Phiioiogique” and of the “Aristarchus” project online, and is a member of
numerous international research centers and associations. Apart from the Vocaboiario
deiia Lingua Greca he has published many other scientific works on ancient scholarship
and grammar, archaic Greek epic poets and other Greek poets of the Classical and
Hellenistic periods, including Brill’s Companion to Hesiod (2009).
“For a number of years now, scholars at ease in Italian have benefitted enormously
from the riches, layout, concision, and accuracy of Professor Montanari’s Vocaboiario della
Lingua Greca, with its added advantage of the inclusion of names.
Hence classicists in general will welcome the English version of this very valuable
resource.”
Professor Richard Janko, University of Michigan
“Franco Montanari is a giant in our held, and his Dictionary is a major leap
forward for us....”
