Classical Studies
This Lexicon has been completed in May 2026 and offers information about 476 grammarians in total. The entries are available in Italian and the vast majority of them also in English. Sorted alphabetically by Latin name, each entry consists of 1) an introduction with biographical information on the respective grammarian, as well as a discussion of his work and preserved fragments; 2) the Greek text of these fragments; and finally 3) the relevant bibliography, including lists of editions (if any) and studies.
Since some ancient erudites worked at the intersection between the modern categories of scholars/grammarians and antiquarians/historians, a collaboration has been established between LGGA and Jacoby Online, Part IV (Fragmente der Griechischen Historiker IV, editor-in-chief: Stefan Schorn), also published by Brill, so that cross-references between them help to avoid overlap.
LGGA also serves as the basis for Supplementum Grammaticum Graecum (SGG), a collection of critical editions, with translations and commentaries, of the fragments of ancient Greek grammarians, also conceived in collaboration with and as a mutual complement to FGrHist continued within Brill's Jacoby Online.
The printed version of the EAGLL can be accessed at here.
