In Praise of Lemprière

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 January 2009

Extract

In 1948 the Oxford University Press published a new Classical Dictionary, the combined effort of many scholars and embodying the fruits of the latest research. About the same time another publisher issued a new edition of another classical dictionary, that of John Lemprière. This was the work of a young man, begun when he was an undergraduate at Oxford and completed when he was 23, and it was first published over a century and a half ago, in 1788.
