LEXICON OF PATRISTIC GREEK.
[To TUE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."]
Sin,—A lexicon of this character has long been a desideratum among theologians. Sophocles' lexicon and Suicer do some- thing, it is true, to supply the need, but neither is anything like exhaustive. An attempt is now being made to supply the need, and competent scholars are being invited to assist in the collection of 'materials. The idea originated with the Central Society of Sacred Study, and its Warden, Dr. Swete, Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge. Mem- bers of that society are specially invited to help, but the co-operation of other scholars is also desired and will be welcomed. Having undertaken to act as editor I shall be glad to receive communications from any persons who can assist in the work, at 10 Idol Lane, London, B.C. The present idea is to include the Greek Fathers down to A.D. 500, though. if sufficient workers can be found, it might be extended as far as John of Damascus (A.D. 750).—I am, Sir, &c.,
HENRY A. REDPATH.
