William SmithReseñas

3rd edition, 7th impression. Foyles sticker to inside front cover

This has been a favorite reference for years - when I want to know more about a place or word in the Bible. Having grown fond of Smith's Bible Dictionary, I now continue to use an electronic version that is available in the Pocket Sword app.

While better than nothing, this isn't the most useful of Latin dictionaries. It only provides Latin-English definitions, not English-Latin. I would not recommend this to beginners.½

"This little Classical Dictionary is, in the main, a reprint of Dr. Smith's Dictionary published many years ago. But a considerable amount of revisioin has been made; a few of the longer articles appear exactly in the form in which they originally appear; and a great deal of new matter has been iintroduced in order to bring the work up to date, as far as was consistent with the publishers' plan of including in Everyman's Library a short and concise companion to the classics."

Not just definitions of biblical terms, but details about the Bible - its history, setting, geography, characters, and key words. The Smith's Bible Dictionary is a must for the library of every student.

Oh yes. This is what the world has been waiting for. I wish I'd had this while struggling through interminable Bradley's Arnold prose comp. exercises twenty years ago. And I wish the hardcover version hadn't been unavailable when I ordered mine, because this is the kind of thing I'd really like to have on hand in something sturdier than a paperback edition.

Nonetheless, thanks are due to Bolchazy-Carducci for making this invaluable reference work available.

Smith's Bible dictionary is an old warhorse, but good for a couple of reasons. Becasue it was written (and revised) before the twentieth century, it treats biblical matters in light of the Bible only, and not new fangled archaeological theories or new chronologies or new textual theories. This allows you to study not only with the light of modern findings, but the lack of modern findings. Make sense?
