R. J. Cunliffe, A Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect was published by Blackie and Son Limited, London, Glasgow, and Bombay in 1924. Compared to the lexicon by G. A. Autenrieth (A Homeric Dictionary, NY 1895) which has been available in searchable form online for some time, Cunliffe has broader coverage of the Homeric vocabulary, fuller grammatical information and extensive examples of vocabulary usage which makes it particularly suitable for hypertext rendering.
The TLG version is the first fully searchable online rendition of Cunliffe’s lexicon. All entries and text references are linked to the TLG texts allowing users to look up quickly the passages cited in the dictionary.
Cunliffe's lexicon was digitized and automatically converted to XML with scripts developed by Nick Nicholas. Nishad Prakash was responsible for the database and search mechanism of the site. Maria Pantelia oversaw the general editing and the integrity of the data. (Click here for a list of Corrigenda.)
