Project Status: Complete

The Lexikon zur byzantinischen Gräzität (LBG) is a dictionary of the Greek language as found in the Byzantine Empire. The work is based on the Greek-English Lexicon by Liddell, Scott, and Jones and on Lampe’s Patristic Greek Lexicon. The project has created a searchable digital edition of all eight fascicles of the dictionary’s two volumes.

The over 85,000 entries are searchable by both keyword and author. Entries most frequently list their definitions in either Latin or German and additionally list citations of Byzantine texts that have used the word in question.
