Coeditors Goh and Schroeder (with other scholars, under the auspices of the Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard Univ.) have overseen the translation of Vocabolario della lingua greca, by Montanari (Univ. of Genoa, Italy). The project fulfills the need for a current, full-scale Greek lexicon in English, as the standard ninth edition (1925-40) of A Greek-English Lexicon, by Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott-accessible via the Perseus Digital Library (CH, Jun'15, 52-5096)-has not been completely revised for 65 years. [...] Summing Up: Essential. All academic levels. - P. E. Ojennus, Whitworth University 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 Vocabolario 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 field, and his Dictionary is a major leap forward for us... Professor Gregory Nagy, Harvard University
