I feel like I would have heard of this before if there was one. But I wanted to ask to make sure? IS there an Ancient Greek dictionary written in Ancient Greek (Greek-Greek)

This is amazing but tough to read. I assume it’s never been transcribed into a digital format?

Hi, there’s a recent monolingual ancient Greek dictionary by Caruso, but I haven’t looked for it or seen it myself and so can’t comment:

It was discussed on this forum a few years ago:

Once you’ve read a couple of pages of that beautiful typography or manuscripts of old (this is a good primer) you will enjoy such resources at their best. The lexicon I recommended is based mainly on older scholia and lexica, so you won’t have to worry about elections for synonyms (the problem you will encounter in a work like the aforementioned by Chad), since at least you know it comes from a Greek source.

This is an index of ligatures which should help you with the typography:

The problem that you and I both have though is probably not the typography, but the fact that when you increase the image size to read it, the letters lose clarity.
