  • First published: Date unknown
  • Language: Dutch

"Woordenboek der Grieksche en Romeinsche oudheid" by Dr. J. G. Schlimmer and Dr. Z. C. de Boer is a classical dictionary written in the late 19th century. This reference work is intended primarily for students in Dutch secondary schools but is also suitable for scholars of classical literature and ancient history. The dictionary focuses on making classical knowledge accessible, omitting lengthy monographs and prioritizing succinct definitions that cater to the needs of students. At the start of the dictionary, the authors explain the intention behind the work and describe the collaborative effort that went into its creation. Dr. Schlimmer takes responsibility for the Roman section, covering ancient geography and history, while Dr. de Boer focuses on the Greek section, including mythology and the gods. They detail their decision to avoid excessive length in entries, emphasizing clarity and ease of use for learners, and address technical issues such as spelling and organization to enhance the dictionary's functionality.
