For all of those of us who use the personal computer for something more than mere word processsing, the existence of various software that provides easy access to ancient texts in their original languages , and various lexica is a treasure. I have mentioned below that the Greek texts of Philo's works will soon be available; see also some other postings by my co-blogger Kåre Fuglseth.

Today I just want to point your attention to a review of Libronix Digital Library System's H.G. Liddell and R. Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, and Wilhelm Pape, Electronic Edition of Griechisch-Deutsch: Handwørterbuch der griechischen Sprache that has been posted on BrynMawr Review webpage. The reviewer (Gerald Verbrugghe, Rutgers University, Camden)also makes some useful comparative comments on the The 1940 Liddell and Scott as available online from Perseus (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057)

Did you know, by the way, that there are som blogs out there that deals explicitly and primarily with discussions of computer programs related to not only the Biblical texts, but also other ancients texts. Have a look, for instance, at the Bible Software Review Blog of Ruben Gomez, and The Macintosh Biblioblog (yes, Kåre, that's for you....).
