ROBINSON'S GREEK LEXICON TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, Condensed for
Schools and Students; with a PARSING INDEX, containing the Words
which occur, and showing their derivations.
_This Lexicon will be found to be the fullest and most
comprehensive Lexicon to the Greek Testament, which has yet been
published, at a moderate price. It is compiled from Dr. Robinson's
large work, but on comparison it will be found that nothing really
essential has been omitted._
_For the sake of the many private students who, not having had the
benefit of a regular classical education, are pursuing their
studies under great disadvantages, a Parsing Index is appended
which gives the form of all the words as they occur in the
Testament, with a reference to the word from which they are
derived._
"Making use of the well-directed labour and well-earned fame of
Dr. Robinson's 'Lexicon,' an English editor prepares this
condensed work for the use of schools and students. Utility is the
main object aimed at, so far as the young scholar is concerned,
and therefore those parts of the original work are most fully
given which are most essential to those who are only learners.
Thus the inflexions of all verbs in any degree irregular appear in
their orders, and in an appendix a copious parsing index is given.
"Dr. Robinson's Lexicon aimed at being also a concordance, and
almost all passages of importance were referred to under each
word; here there is only a selection of those references thought
either most striking or most varied. In general, the editing of
the work manifests judgment, and in some points, special care has
been bestowed; as in the Explanations and Illustrations of the use
of the Particles--a subject in which English-Greek Lexicons are
usually deficient. For those who have only a slight knowledge of
the Greek language, no Lexicon will be found more useful than
'Robinson's Lexicon Condensed.'"--_Literary Gazette_, Nov. 22.
1851.
"This is a well-executed and useful condensation of the last
edition of Dr. Robinson's excellent Lexicon. The abridgment has
been mainly effected by the reduction of the number of examples
given in the larger work. Dr. Robinson aimed to make his book not
merely a Lexicon, but a Concordance; and, therefore prints far
more examples (where they exist) than is necessary to elucidate
the meaning or construction: _e.g._, if the phrase occurs six or
eight times, he cites every passage containing it. Whatever
advantage this plan might possess in the original work, it could
not be suited to one intended mainly for learners; the present
editor has, therefore, found the chief opportunity for the
exercise of his judgment in the selection from them of the
examples really necessary, apart from the idea of making the work
a concordance, and this task seems to have been executed by a
skillful hand; and notwithstanding the great reduction of bulk
and, consequently, of cost, the work remains quite adequate for
the purposes of learners and school purposes, and is, indeed, the
best adapted to this use of any that has fallen under our notice.
A serviceable Parsing Index is appended, extending to fifty-five
pages. This is a feature only to be found in 'Dawson's Lexicon'
which is useless as a help to the critical study of the New
Testament."--_Kitto's Journal of Sacred Literature._
"We can honestly recommend this Condensed Lexicon to students of
the Greek New Testament. The Parsing Index is invaluable to those
who have not been prepared, by classical discipline in Grammar, to
see, at a glance, the derivations of words, and the moods and
tenses of verbs. The inflexions of irregular verbs, the analysis
of compound words, the varied and delicate uses of Greek particles
by Hebrew writers, and the well-selected examples of
interpretation, are given so clearly and concisely, that we know
not any other book so thoroughly adapted to the purpose. We are
not informed who the Editor is: he has certainly undertaken a good
work, and done it admirably."--_Eclectic Review_, Feb. 1852.
"We have no hesitation in saying that, whoever the editor may be,
he has done his work well. Every word occurring in the New
Testament is correctly explained and amply illustrated with
suitable examples. An excellent idea not merely of the various
shades of meaning which each is capable of bearing, but also of
the different combinations into which it enters, may be gathered
from the phrases quoted or referred to. All Hebraisms and peculiar
constructions are fully exemplified. Great attention is given to
the prepositions and particles, which play so important a part in
the Greek language. Peculiarities of inflection are stated, and
the derivation is explained, generally with undoubted accuracy. A
vocabulary is given at the end, by consulting which even those who
have but slender acquaintance with Greek grammar may without
difficulty parse every word in the Testament."--_Athenæum._
