WiP – Words in Progressis a collaborative project in Greek lexicography, that aims to update and expand the major dictionaries of Ancient and Byzantine Greek currently in use
Drawing inspiration from the over ten years of experience of PAWAG – Poorly Attested Words in Ancient Greek, WiP - Words in Progress seeks to provide the scientific community with on ongoing supplement of Greek lexica via a freely accessible online database. The WiP database is continuously enriched with new entries, both recording new words, and previously unknown sources, novel acceptations and improvements of all kinds involving the entries in the main existing dictionaries.
The main lines of development concern the scrutiny of new papyrus and epigraphic sources, and the study of sectorial lexica, through collaboration with institutions and scholars having specific expertise:
updatings of the papyrological vocabulary
Istituto papirologico “G. Vitelli”
coordinator: Francesca Maltomini
updatings of the epigraphical vocabulary
SAET (Scuola Normale Superiore – Pisa)
coordinator: Anna Magnetto
lexicon of music and metre
Dipartimento di Musicologia e Beni Culturali (Università di Pavia)
coordinator: Eleonora Rocconi
lexicon of ancient grammar and erudition
Dipartimento di Antichità, Filosofia e Storia (Università di Genova)
coordinators: Lara Pagani, Valeria Bacigalupo
WiP is open to collaboration and contributions from the scientific community: we thus welcome any suggestions that might enhance the range of material to be included in the database. Registered users[Sign up] can submit new entries.
