I have been given a very large Oxford volume entitled:&nbsp; A Greek-English<BR>
Lexicon, compiled by Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott, revised and<BR>
augmented throughout by Sir Henry Stuart Jones, ninth edition, 1985<BR>
printing.&nbsp; How many more editions have been produced since the ninth?&nbsp; Is<BR>
the one I own still on the cutting edge of scholarship?<BR>

As has already been indicated, some things may have changed since 1985.&nbsp; Without going to the current edition (which I don't have) and checking the revision history, it would be impossible to say how much.&nbsp; Considering, however, the (ahem!) blazing speed with which things change in lexicography in general, I think you may assume that it was not "or what."&nbsp; BTW: the current edition lists for $145.00 at both Borders and Barnes &amp; Noble.&nbsp; I won't deal with Amazon so you will need to check their price yourself.<BR>
