The Bible of classical scholars (that is, with the exception of those whose sacred scripture is Lewis & Short) and the Tome of Eldritch Lore for many students of Classics. With over 80 editions and over 20.000 entries, it is THE Greek-English lexicon. Its three versions (of which two are abbreviated) are nicknamed, accordingly, Big Liddell (or Big Scott), Middle Liddell, and Little Liddell, two of these sobriquets producing nice merical effect not unfamiliar to the students of classic Greek (which apparently had been sung rather than spoken).

abstract
  • The Bible of classical scholars (that is, with the exception of those whose sacred scripture is Lewis & Short) and the Tome of Eldritch Lore for many students of Classics. With over 80 editions and over 20.000 entries, it is THE Greek-English lexicon. Its three versions (of which two are abbreviated) are nicknamed, accordingly, Big Liddell (or Big Scott), Middle Liddell, and Little Liddell, two of these sobriquets producing nice merical effect not unfamiliar to the students of classic Greek (which apparently had been sung rather than spoken). For whole generations it has been the key to understanding many texts which are Older Than Feudalism, such as Homer’s The Iliad, Plato’s Republic, or the Gospels. If it comes to literary meaning of the book, one of its authors (Henry George Liddell) was the father of Alice of Wonderland. (Judging from some conversations in Lewis Carroll's books - especially the one with Humpty Dumpty - in this case the knack for philology went in the family.)
