The courier has just brought me G W H Lampe's Patristic Greek Lexicon from the uni. library. How exciting! It's actually not as old as I'd imagined it to be: I thought Lampe was some bewhiskered Victorian clergyman-scholar, but in fact the publication date is 1961. Being an OUP publication, it's very much like my large Liddell-Scott-Jones in format (not quite so bulky though), but of course specialises in theological and ecclesiastical vocabulary, so I don't have to wade through all the classical forms and definitions first. I can't wait to get started!
