James Morwood (1943–2017)

This little dictionary is a gem. I bought it to extend beyond the vocab so readily supplied by the numerous New Testament Greek helps (although it is useful for NT work also). It is not an analytical dictionary and has no references to usage in the literature - in this regard "Pocket" says it all. However, as a quick reference for the stumbling reader it is great.

In addition to the main lexicon it also has a (much briefer) English- to Greek section, a list of proper names (English->Greek), show more a chart of numerals (very helpful) and a table of principal parts for the top 101 irregular verbs. A couple of simple maps close this useful volume.

To top it all off, it has a good bold Greek font which is easy to read. show less

Written by the same folks that compiled the Oxford Latin Dictionary, which is neither portable nor inexpensive. Amazon will kindly sell you the two-volume set at the discounted price of $385.10 (marked down from $450). Morwood's pocket dictionary is far less expensive; it is also far less complete. It's a pretty decent resource (although I prefer the Cassell's), and for the student, this is an excellent resource.

The font is larger, and it seems carefully organized, but there's just a bit show more less in the way of words and definitions than Cassell's. Nothing wrong with having both, and the extra pieces and side notes make it worthy. show less

Clear, concise and very easy to use, with all required grammar and historical and grammar points throughout the dictionary.

A reference useful for both reading and writing. It contains a thematic index and an index of proverbs. I keep it by my desk for handy access.
