Graeco-Arabic Lexicography
What is it about? ― What can it contribute to traditional Greek, Byzantine and Arabic lexicography? ― How can editors of ancient Greek or medieval Arabic philosophical and scientific texts benefit from it?

Rüdiger Arnzen (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)

Abstract:

Graeco-Arabic lexicography studies the lan­guage of ancient and early Byzantine Greek texts and their medieval Arabic translations. Its methods and products differ fundamentally from those of bilingual dictionaries, no matter what pair of (source- and target‑)languages is concerned.
The present talk will:

  1. explain the theoretical and methodological peculiarities of Graeco-Arabic lexicography as compared with other types of historical lexicography, modern bilingual lexicography or reference dictionaries, including a brief overview of the state of the art
  2. address the question if and how Graeco-Arabic lexicography can contribute to our knowledge of both ancient and early Byzantine Greek as well as medieval Arabic
  3. illustrate with a couple of examples how editors of ancient Greek or medieval Arabic philosophical and scientific texts may benefit from Graeco-Arabic lexicography.
