Companion volume to A Greek-English lexicon by H.G. Liddell and R. Scott as revised by H.S. Jones.

"This volume contains the complete text of A Patristic Greek Lexicon, previously published in five separate fascicles. The object of the work is primarily to interpret the theological and ecclesiastical vocabulary of the Greek Christian authors from Clement of Rome to Theodore of Studium. These limits, although by necessity somewhat arbitrary, have been drawn with the object of confining the Lexicon, as far as possible, to the formative period of the history of Christian thought and institutions, beginning in the subapostolic age and embracing the whole era of the Creeds, the Councils down to the Second Council of Nicaea, and the great doctrinal disputes down to the Iconoclastic Controversy. All words illustrating the development of Christian thought and institutions have been treated as fully as possible, with extensive citations of the more important relevant passages. This lexicon is a companion to Liddell-Scott-Jones, A Greek English Lexicon, but the two do not overlap. No word that is well attested in the Liddell and Scott and that has no particular interest for the readers of the Fathers is included here" -- BOOK JACKET.
