Le Gaffiot numerise: is there a L&S counterpart?

Post by hlawson38 »

You can see a clever presentation of a Latin-French dictionary here:

https://www.prima-elementa.fr/Gaffiot/Gaffiot-dico.html

It provides an index to images of pages in the printed book, three pages grouped together for each index entry.


Has anybody seen this done with Lewis and Short??

You might try downloading Diogenes, which is a freeware browser-based program intended to search the TLG and PHI corpora, but which also comes bundled with L&S for Latin and LSJ for Greek.

The best thing about it, IMO, is that it's lightning fast (I find Perseus very slow at times), and you can do full-text searches inside entries (great for collocations, etc.). And it does a great job of parsing inflected forms you want to look up in the dictionaries.
