Project identity

This project is a conversion into mediawiki format of Liddell, Scott, Jones' A Greek–English Lexicon, which is more commonly known as LSJ. The data are provided by the Perseus Project with a Creative Commons Sharealike /Non-Commercial/Attribution license.

Features

A number of features has been implemented to enhance this resource; for example diacritics-insensitive live search, random ancient Greek quotes with English translations, semantically arranged data (like the Indexes of various transliterations and forms). It was a long and arduous trip, but we hope you will agree with us that it was worth the effort.

Credits

This project has relied on the following Mediawiki Extensions for some of the advanced features:

  • Data transfer
  • Semantic Mediawiki
  • Semantic Drilldown

And it would not be possible without the help of Issac Hecht and Yaron Koren.
