Summary:
This is a substantially expanded version of a lexicon published in
1993 dealing with the Twelve Prophets. This new edition fully
incorporates the data relating to the Pentateuch, the centrepiece of
the Septuagint. Some 4.500 lexemes (the vocabulary of the New
Testament Greek has a little over 5.000 lexemes). Much data from
outside the Pentateuch and Twelve Prophets incorporated. Some 1.500
lexemes complete for the entire Septuagint. Many of these do not
occur in the Pentateuch nor in the Twelve Prophets, but occur in
books for which the Göttingen edition is available. For about 60% of
the 4.500+ headwords all the passages occurring in the corpus are
either quoted or mentioned. Based on the critically established
Göttingen edition of the Septuagint. A fully fledged lexicon, not a
glossary merely listing translation equivalents in English. Important
lexicographical data such as synonyms, antonyms, idiomatic
expressions, distinction between literal and figurative, combinations
with prepositions, noun cases, syntagmatic information such as what
kind of direct or indirect objects a given verb takes, what kind of
nouns a given adjective is used with, and much more information
abundantly presented and illustrated with quotes, mostly translated.
High-frequency lexemes such as prepositions and conjunctions fully
analysed. Data on contemporary Koine and Jewish Greek including the
New Testament taken into account. Morphological information provided:
various tenses of verbs, genitive forms of nouns etc. Hebrew/Aramaic
words which a given Greek headword is used to translate listed with
frequency counts. Substantive references to the current scientific
literature. An indispensable tool for students of the Septuagint, the
New Testament, Hellenistic Judaism, and the Greek language.
