Not the intermediate, but smaller ABRIDGED

What I received isn't the book shown, but smaller size, and fewer entries.

Still the best!

I purchased this Greek lexicon for my beginner's Greek class during my Sophmore year of college and I would never dream of using anything else; No matter what other lexicons I have sampled or used, I still maintain that the Liddell and Scott is the definitive and best lexicon avaialable for both New Testament students and Classical Greek students alike. The entries are succinct yet informative, listing numerous uses of prepositions and naming constructions. Furthermore, word entries display where certain words are used in specific Greek texts and gives varying definitions for each different usage. Another nice aspect is that the compilers studied the usage of words all the way from Homeric Greek to New Testament Koine Greek, so you are definitely getting a full range of definitions. This is easily a must have purchase for any serious Greek student and one that you will not soon regret.

A must have for any student of Ancient Greek

This is one of those indispensible tools that the student of the Greek language must NOT be without. While not as in-depth as the "Great Scott" the "Middle Lidell" is priced very well and is has more than enough references and is more than concise for an advanced study of the language of Ancient Greece. I would highly recommend this Lexicon over the other versions of the Lidell-Scott series due to its size and price. From the most advanced to the beginning students this lexicon will find a very useful place in any students library.

My studies are much easier now.

I've been studying Greek for a year now and I wish I had started with this dictionary. I have both the "Giant" and the "Abridged" Liddell/Scott, but these were too big and too small. Also, neither of these is as clear as the "Intermediate".The Complete Liddell/Scott obviously has its place, but I haven't needed it more than rarely since I got this version.I guess I'm not saying anything which was not already stated in the other reviews, but I wish someone had made this clear to me a year ago.

Great for the new and intermediate student of Greek

This Lexicon is reasonably priced for the newer student of Greek or for a travel companion. It contains many varieties and uses for the words. It is well organized for easy location of words. It also has many of the various forms of the words listed with a redirection to the root form. This Lexicon is good for Homer through Biblical. Please email me if you have any questions about this text.

A useful and manageable lexicon!

Although at times the type size of the "Middle Liddell" can be a bit small for tired eyes, this version of this standard work is perfect for the student of ancient Greek. It is physically much smaller and more manageable than the full size Liddell and Scott (also known as the "Big Liddell" or the "Great Scott"), yet far more complete than the smallest version of the series. I have found few words that are not in this intermediate lexicon, and those were all of a very specific and rare dialect. I would heartily recommend this particular volume, particularly in comparison with the unwieldy larger version. The intermediate lexicon is comphrensive, useful for all periods of ancient Greek, and is not too large to carry in a backpack or briefcase. Best of all, it is far cheaper than the "Great Scott"!
