| Abstract: | "Hesychius' 5th(?)-century Greek lexicon is a very important survivor of ancient learning, including fragments of Greek literature and offering material, not yet fully evaluated, on patristic writings. The final critical edition was begun by Kurt Latte (Vol. 1, 1953 and Vol. 2, 1966, Copenhagen: Munksgaard; now out of print) and continued by Hansen and Cunningham (SGLG 11/3 and 11/4, 2005 and 2010). A revised edition of the first Latte volume by Cunningham (SGLG 11/1, 2017) followed and is now completed by the revised edition of vol. 2, which also provides a more complete record of the readings of the unique manuscript, cites parallels from related works in the current editions, and takes account of the scholarship of the intervening years. A volume of indexes and addenda is planned (to be SGLG 11/5)."-- Provided by publisher. |
