Varia Lexicographica III. Neues Material zum byzantinischen und postbyzantinischen Wortschatz

Abstract

“Varia Lexicographica III. New Material on Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Vocabulary”: This article discussesvarious Greek words, which are attested in lexicographical tools, especially in the Lexikon zur Byzantinischen Gräzität (LBG).However, the present study is much more than a list of Addenda et Corrigenda. On the contrary, it considers the developmentof Greek vocabulary from Antiquity up to Modern Times and it offers linguistic observations which are missing from the LBGand other dictionaries. The article also stresses that research on (Byzantine) Greek vocabulary needs consideration of nonliterarysources too, especially epigraphy.
